1. Rationale
Earlier, Rodrigo Duterte, the President of the Philippines chose to
relaunch the counter remedy crusade known as "Oplan Tokhang". The
disputable adversary of the remedy crusade is remained mindful of by Duterte
as his first concern since his position two years sooner. Since his 2016 power
mission, Duterte has promised to kill each street drug trained professional and
client in the nation, and suitably annihilate the utilization of unlawful
medications inside the Philippines. His productive and stupid method towards
social and financial issues inside the nation has obtained profound help inside
the Philippines, driving him to win a heavy slide greater part inside the Senate
as President, which makes his proposed pushes toward substantially less hard
to be finished (Sao Yang Hew, 2018).
Oplan Tokhang which was first exceptional in Davao City Police Office
(DCPO) by then-Police City Director Police Senior Supt Ronald Dela Rosa was
depended upon to accelerate reliance on drugs strategies by visiting spots of
the unlawful solution characters and referencing that they stop the illegal
shows. The construction requires that barangay supervisors will be at the
cutting edge of battling unlawful remedies by presenting a quick overview of
their tenants who are into drugs. The police understanding units will check the
rundown to embrace whether the names in the outline are truly into drugs
(Tamayo Adrian, 2018).
In barangay Kapatagan, they are dealing with some medicine addicts
which alarmed them to the interface. With this Oplan Tokhang, it is an
important system in preventing illegal medication use and getting the ordinary
everyday practice of people who encounters it there. The surrenderees of
ongoing medication use will be permitted a chance to change their unlawful
strategy for living. this examination is to know the reasonability of this
organization program about unlawful meds which is Oplan Tokhang, if it may

Filipinos from unbelievable desperation. Needy individuals would have the
choice to deal with the expense of food instead of relying upon drugs for
mental and real food, driving medicine costs down. This would then incite drug
suppliers to stop their prescription-related activities on account of diminishing
pay, an outcome that was obviously more charming for the public position and
people of the Philippines (Sao Yang Hew, 2018).

War on Drugs: How To Win in Philippines, Bangladesh
Bashar P. Vineles (2019)

The increase in drug-related encroachment in the Philippines and Bangladesh

have pushed the two governments to acknowledge an uncompromising stance
way to deal with the evacuation of the scourge of remedies. Regardless,
fundamental freedoms packs reliably reprimand the genuine enemies of
opiates gauges, no uncertainties, or potentially buts there is remarkable help
for it in the two nations. Since Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had the
chance to work in 2016, he has clarified that the conflict on drugs is his
essential concern. Moreover, Bangladesh under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
began its crackdown on drugs in mid-2018. Regardless, it's anything but an
impression of being neither the Philippines nor Bangladesh has been useful in
obliterating the scourge. The two nations need to get an exhaustive and
significant length procedure.

As demonstrated by President Duterte, the amount of medicine addicts in the
country is around 4,000,000, which is contrary to the data of the Dangerous
Drugs Board that shows there are only 1. 8 million medicine customers. Most
of the drug miscreants are male, jobless, and poor. According to the
Dangerous Drugs Board, there are 10 male medicine lowlifes for every one
female prescription miscreant in the country.

In like manner, 54% of them are single with an ordinary month-to-month pay of
more thanUS$ 236 (P12,337), which is beneath the typical compensation of
Filipino families surveyed at more than US$421 (P22,000). It's everything
except unforeseen why President Duterteis decided in his adversary of
prescription campaign considering the way that the vast majority of the
Filipinos support it. Regardless, the public power dismissed the way that its
serious adversary of medicine campaign achieved abuse of power by some
law enforcers.

4.3. Data Sources

This study will utilize Key Informant Interview (KII) with guide questions
as the data instrument to be used in this study in order to thoroughly acquire
the data/information needed for this study.

4.4. Data Collection

Collecting data through interviews with participants is a characteristic of
many qualitative studies. Interviews give the most direct and straightforward
approach to gathering detailed and rich data regarding a particular phenomenon.
The type of interview used to collect data can be tailored to the research
question, the characteristics of participants, and the preferred approach of the
researcher. Interviews are most often carried out face-to-face, though the use of
telephone interviews to overcome geographical barriers to participant
recruitment is becoming more prevalent. (David Barret 2018) .This study will be
utilizing a set of direct questions in meeting the respondents so as to efficiently
and viably procure the data and information required for this data. These direct
questions will be approved by qualified validators who will scrutinize the
pertinence of the questions to the destinations they think about.

5. Research Agenda

This study is inclined towards the Research Agenda of Crime Prevention and
Intervention.
