EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Philippine Drug Situation
For the year 2014, 89% of the arrests involved methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu. This is a
manifestation that “shabu” remains to be the most prevalent drug of abuse in the country.
Notably, not only shabu in crystal form were seized in the country but also chemicals that will be used to
complete the manufacturing process of shabu. In the 3rd quarter of the year, the first incident of seizure of
1,2-Dimethyl-3-Phenylaziridine or Aziridine was recorded.
Alarmingly, drug personalities are utilizing new ways in illicit transactions. Investigation in one of the antidrug operations revealed the use of digital or virtual currency called “bitcoin,” as a mode of payment. This is
being exploited by syndicates and terrorists to avoid risking their identity.
Despite all the challenges faced by the country, the PDEA, together with other law enforcement agencies,
continues to fight its way to a drug-free country in order to provide a safe environment that is conducive for
development.
National Anti-Drug Accomplishment
Following are outputs of the efforts and initiatives of
PDEA and other law enforcement agencies:
7. Dismantling of two (2) shabu tiangges and 114
drug dens.
1.Conduct of 16,939 successful anti-drug
operations which resulted in the arrest of 13,792
drug personalities and seizure of Php 6.18 billion
worth of dangerous drugs, controlled precursors
and essential chemicals and non-drug evidence.
8.Issuance of 34,449 licenses and permits
to authorized handlers of regulated drugs
and chemicals which include practitioners,
establishments and industries as a continuing
effort to deter chemical diversion.
2. Neutralization of five (5) local drug groups.
9.Grant of monetary reward amounting to
Php18,159,834.14 to 28 Operation “Private
Eye” informants. This is a mechanism of the
government to encourage the citizenry to actively
participate in the fight against the use and abuse
of illicit drugs.
3. Filing of 17,619 drug cases nationwide.
4. Seizure of 742.1 kilos of shabu.
5.Dismantling of two (2) shabu clandestine
laboratories located in Tarlac and Valenzuela, and
2 shabu warehouses located in San Fernando City
Pampanga.
10. Establishment of forensic laboratories in the
seven PDEA Regional Offices 2, 3, 4A, 7, 9, ARMM
and CAR.
6. Eradication of 506 marijuana plantation sites
which are mostly in the Cordillera Administrative
Region.
11. Acquisition and training of 25 narcotic detection
dogs (NDDs) and deployment of 8 PDEA K-9 Units
to Regional Offices NCR, 2, 3, 4A, 4B and 10.

Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency
Call to the Citizenry
The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency together
with other law enforcement agencies has been
unrelenting in the fight against illegal drug activities
in order to provide an environment that is safe
and conducive for development. While anti-drug
accomplishments for 2014 are significant and have
impact on the illegal drug activities, PDEA still urges
the citizenry to actively take part in the fight against
drugs in order to win the battle.
Every Juan and Juana must be vigilant and report
any observed illegal drug activities to any nearby
law enforcement units. Let us do our shared
responsibility in fighting the drug menace. PDEA
and law enforcement units could only do so much
but we could do more if we will help each other. All
information is vital to successfully address the drug
problem in the community.
Let us be partners! Together, we can win the fight
against illegal drugs!

PDEA Strategy Map
The nine (9) strategic objectives of the Agency are shown in the PDEA Strategy Map. These strategies, together
with the Vision, Mission, and Core Values, are considered as the potent guide in reducing the drug affectation in
the country.
Philippine Drug SITUATION
Same drug menace but multi-faceted. Each country may share similar situation yet different
challenges that require distinct solutions and unyielding efforts in order to free the country
from sinking into the abyss of illicit drug problem.
Dominant Drug
in the Philippines
Consistent with the previous years’
observations, shabu and marijuana
remains the most abused illegal drugs
in the Philippines. Evidently, the value
of shabu seized for the year is 78% of the
total value of seized drugs and CPECs.
Furthermore, 89% of the year’s arrests
are shabu-related.
Packs of shabu with a total weight of 10 kilos worth Php30 million pesos seized during a buy-bust
operation at PHILCOA, San Vicente, Quezon City.
Drug Trafficking Trends
For 2014, the increasing number of incidences
of transporting illegal drugs using mail and
parcel services was recorded. At least 40
mail and parcel interdiction operations were
conducted nationwide which resulted in the
seizure of shabu, marijuana and ecstasy, and
arrest of 20 drug personalities.
The utilization of various materials like
sandals, milk boxes and electronic devices to
conceal illegal drugs was also noted.
Parcel interdiction operation at Iligan city that resulted in the confiscation of package that
contains 787 grams of shabu.

New Trends in Illegal Drug Activities
The conduct of a buy-bust operation by PDEA and
PNP on March 24 in Malate, Manila resulted in the
seizure of 223 tablets of “fly high” and arrest of an
Indian national. Investigation revealed that the
suspect imports ecstasy from The Netherlands using
bitcoins as mode of payment.
In addition to the foregoing, on September 12,
2014, the first incidence of seizure of 1,2-Dimethyl3-Phenylaziridine, or Aziridine, in the country was
recorded. The chemical, with a total weight of 655.56
kilos, was seized in the dismantled shabu warehouse
in San Fernando City, Pampanga.
Bitcoin is a digital or virtual currency that uses online
technology to facilitate instant payments. With the
transaction being done by just a “point and click”
without risking the identity of the user, syndicates
and terrorists exploit the system for their illegal
transactions.
Lastly, following the first incidence of seizure of
“fly high”, which is a mixture of shabu, ecstasy and
Viagra, in December 2013 in Quezon City, another
six incidences were recorded in 2014 in NAIA, Manila,
Makati City, Cebu City and Cavite. During the year, a
total of 1,130 pieces of “fly high” in tablet form and
29.9044 grams in powder form were seized.
Critical Areas in the Philippines
The map shows the major smuggling incidents of
illicit drugs in the country which were mainly in the
coastal areas of Luzon.
As to shabu laboratories, most were discovered and
dismantled in populated areas of Central Luzon and
mostly in the National Capital Region (NCR).

for selling or dispensing illegal drugs. These rescued minors were immediately turned-over to
local social welfare development offices.
Based on the arrest data, male dominates the number
of arrested drug personalities. Out of the 13,792 drug
personalities arrested for the year, 11,950 or 87% are
males.
Notably, 2014 has recorded the apprehension of a six year old, the youngest minor apprehended
for being involved in illegal drug activities since 2003.

Conduct of Anti-Drug Operations
For 2014, around 50% of anti-drug
operations are buy-bust operations. The
least conducted is controlled delivery.
Controlled delivery, however, has been
effective in intercepting the smuggling of
illegal drugs through freight or parcel.
On February 13, 2014, PDEA ARMM conducted a search warrant operation that led to the arrest of a drug personality
and seizure of sachets of shabu , live ammunition and high caliber firearms.

Arrest of Foreign Nationals
Arrest of Drug Personalities
Arrest of high-value drug personalities is one of the
priority thrusts in the anti-drug efforts of the Agency.
For the year 2014, with continued and intensified antidrug operations, a total of 13,792 drug personalities
were arrested. Of these, 10% or 1,402 were identified
as high-value-targets (HVTs).
Of the 13,792 arrested drug personalities, 67 are foreign
nationals. Most of these foreign nationals arrested are
Chinese. These foreign nationals were mostly arrested in
National Capital Region.
One Chinese arrested in 2014 was linked to the MexicanSinaloa drug cartel. This confirmed the connection
between drug trafficking organizations operating in the
Philippines and the Mexican-Sinaloa drug cartels.
These arrested personalities were charged accordingly
in the different courts nationwide.

PDEA's Response in Addressing
the Drug Problem
In pursuance of the President’s marching order to step up the fight against shabu and
other habit-forming substances by destroying their source, the Director General has
directed all operating units of the Agency to conduct high-impact operations and arrest
high-value targets and ensure that they are charged and end up in jails.
These are aligned with the Agency’s major final output to reduce and to suppress the
supply of dangerous drugs in the country through conduct of anti-drug operations and
other support services. For 2014, the operational targets of the Agency are raised even
more notches higher; challenging the competency and capabilities of the Agency’s
operating units.
Accomplishing the Agency’s Performance Targets
Pursuant to the implementation of the results-based performance management framework in the whole
bureaucracy, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency did not only meet its performance targets for 2014 but
even exceeded the same.
Accomplishing the Agency’s performance targets plays a significant part in the government’s goal of providing
an enabling environment for economic development thus contributing to the realization of the government’s
Social Contract with the Filipino people.

Operationalization of PDEA Regional
Forensic Laboratories
Recognizing the vital role that the forensic laboratory
plays in the anti-drug operations, the Agency has
prioritized the establishment and operationalization
of the remaining seven PDEA Regional Offices – 2, 3,
4A, 7, 9, ARMM and CAR – without laboratory. At the
end of 2014, all PDEA forensic laboratories nationwide
are already operational.
All regional forensic laboratories are equipped
with essential tools and equipment for illegal drug
detection and investigation and can analyze, detect,
collect, and process samples and pieces of evidence.

role in deterring trafficking of illegal drugs. As part
of improving competence in the performance of the
Agency’s mandate, PDEA advances its K9 capability
by procuring and training drug-sniffing dogs and
training the K9 handlers. The NDDs were deployed
to the various ports in the country particularly in ROs
NCR, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, and 10 .
In 2014, in addition to the PDEA 42 dogs, PDEA
acquired 25 dogs that have undergone training.

Employees Welfare and Benefits
Recognizing the welfare of the personnel of the Agency, the Director General has initiated the following projects
that are beneficial to the personnel:
Hazard Pay for DEOs
Establishment of PDEA Provident Fund
In consideration with the mandate of PDEA as the
lead agency in the government’s anti-drug campaign
and the inherent exposure of the Drug Enforcement
Officers to various hazards, such as physical attacks
by drug personalities during and after the conduct
of anti-drug operations and other accidents during
conduct of anti-drug operations, and to toxic and
carcinogenic chemicals used in manufacturing illegal
drugs which can cause life-threatening illnesses, the
Agency has proposed to DBM the grant of hazard
pay to DEOs. In the absence of an enabling law for
such benefit, the Agency has requested the Office of
the President for an issuance of an Executive Order
granting the said hazard pay.
The Provident Fund is a saving scheme consisting of
contributions from both employees and the Agency
(in monetary form from member-employees, in
monetary and/or non-monetary form/s from the
Agency) which serves as a loan facility and provider
of supplementary welfare benefits to its members.
Based on the coordination with DBM, the Presidential
Management Staff has already forwarded to DBM
the draft of the Executive Order for their final
recommendation and subsequent approval and
signature of the President. The DBM is recommending
to grant Php2,000 hazard pay per month to the
Agency’s DEOs. The Agency hoped for the approval
and issuance of the EO in 2015.
Hazard Pay for Chemists
Pursuant to RA 8439, science and technology
personnel who are exposed to hazards due to the
nature and/or location of their work are entitled to
hazard allowance. Under this premise, science and
technology personnel are entitled to hazard pay
of 10% to 30% of monthly basic salary depending
on the level of their exposure to hazard. Based on
the provision of RA 8439, all chemists, laboratory
aids and technicians of PDEA who are performing
actually laboratory duties were submitted to DOST
for accreditation to entitlement to hazard pay. The
Agency is waiting for the approval of DOST for this
benefit.
54
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency
For 2014, the Agency has established its Provident
Fund with initial membership of 212. During the last
quarter of 2014, the PDEA Provident Fund has started
to grant loans to its members at a very reasonable
interest rate.
Personnel are encouraged to become members of
the Agency’s Provident Fund to be able to avail of the
loans and welfare benefits provided thereof.
Conduct of Debriefing Program
Recognizing that PDEA personnel are always exposed
to all kinds of work-related pressures and stress, threats
and dangers, the Director General has initiated Stress
Debriefing and Stress Management Seminar. On April,
7-9, 2014, the first stress debriefing and management
seminar for the year was conducted in Tacloban City.
This aims to further promote the morale and welfare
of the personnel.
PDEA Annual Awards for Personnel
