Administrative MilestonesBehind the successful operations of the Agency is the diligent and steadfast administrative support team.

Support personnel are essential in the overall administrative management of the entire agency operation which includes general management and supervision, legislative and liaison services, human resource development, financial and administrative services, planning, preparation of reports, communication, and coordinating meetings among others--important jobs that hold the agency together.

Following are the significant administrative milestones of the Agency:

In order to bring the professionalism of the Agency another notch higher, the Agency sent personnel to various local and international trainings.

For the year, 577 personnel were sent to 49 local trainings and 61 personnel were sent to 33 international trainings.

Pipelined Projects:

Housing Project – One initiative of the Agency is the development of a housing project for its employees. Initial meetings and planning were already made. Finalization as to the documentation, design and cost of the units are now being undertaken.

Health Care Program – Considering the risk and the stress level that PDEA personnel are facing in carrying out their functions, the Agency is working on a health care program for the employees. The Agency is now finding means to fund this health related project.

He also encouraged the Agency to collaborate with various sectors and develop a much more creative and definitive solution against the drug menace.

During the program, the Agency launched the PDEA-SMART Text Hotline. This initiative intends to open an easy channel of communication and allows concerned citizens to report drug-related information to the Agency through SMS.

Simple Christmas Celebration

In celebration of the Yuletide Season, as part of the Filipino culture, the Agency held a simple Christmas Celebration on December 20, 2011. This is a simultaneous celebration in the national head office and the regional offices.

In the national office, a Christmas Mass opened the celebration followed by various activities for children and a raffle of various items. Each service rendered a simple presentation just for fun. The Christmas lunch was held in the respective offices shared by the personnel and their families.

Bundles of joy composed of noche buena goods were also distributed to all personnel.



Employees’ Happy Hour

Realizing that the Agency’s work is stressful, a mechanism wherein stress and pressures are relieved is being conducted monthly – the employees’ happy hour.

This activity is a monthly after-office gathering of personnel over prepared food, drinks and music inside the compound. Offices take turns in organizing the monthly activity. All personnel are encouraged to attend this de-stressing activity and join in singing and fun games.

The employees’ happy hour does not only relieved stress and pressure, it also enhanced camaraderie among the personnel who do not have time to really unwind together with fellow personnel, especially those coming from other offices.

Strengthening Integrity and Anti-Corrupt Measures

The President has repeatedly pronounced that corrupt personalities in the system will spoil the efforts of the government. Law enforcement history in the Philippines has it – people shun away from law enforcers because of the reputation of abuse and corruption.

Corrupt people in the Agency affect the appreciation of the public and discourage the much needed support of stakeholders. An anti-drug agency like PDEA critically needs the support of the people, specifically in terms of community drug-related information as well as fund support.

The Agency has since worked on cleansing its ranks to maintain its image of integrity and regain the support of the stakeholders. This is such a painful process as it went as far as conducting operations against its own people that resulted in administrative sanctions including dismissal.

For the year, 107 personnel were charged administratively; 4 of them were dismissed from the service.

Annual General Inspection - To promote good governance, the Agency has crafted the “Annual General Inspection and Operational Readiness, Security, Test and Evaluation (AGI-ORSITE)” as a tool to evaluate the performance and the judicious use of resources of the Regional Offices. The mechanism is undergoing validation and will be ready for implementation in the year 2012.

The following are initiatives intended to strengthen the integrity of the Agency:

Publication of the brochure on Administrative Disciplinary Proceedings Before the IAS, PDEA - The Internal Affairs Service came up with the brochure outlining briefly the administrative disciplinary proceedings of the Agency. This is for the information and instruction of all PDEA personnel and the public in general to promote transparency and non-discrimination.

Orientation on PDEA Code of Conduct – To instil the agency’s code of conduct to every PDEA personnel, the Internal Affairs Service team headed by Atty. Gil Pabilona and other IAS lawyers, visited the different regional offices to conduct orientation on the PDEA Code of Conduct.

Corruption Prevention Action Plan (CPAP) - One of the CPAP mechanisms of the Agency that is being developed is the Performance Measurement Tool on Corruption Prevention for the PDEA Regional Offices.

This tool is designed to measure corruption prevention activities in the regional offices of PDEA. Furthermore, this will guide, assist and give direction to improve delivery of public service and accomplishments.

CPAP initiative has already underwent testing and validation and hopefully will be implemented in the First Quarter of 2012.
