Kalinga Police Provincial Office

Institutionalization Evaluation Process

Summary of KPPO Best Practices and its


Accomplishments
The Kalinga Police Provincial Office (KPPO) has identified four emerging best
practices in adherence to the guidelines and procedures outlined in the determination and
recognition of Philippine National Police (PNP) best practices by the National
Headquarters. These best practices aimed at addressing major contributory factors that
affect the attainment of the KKPO’s commitments.

One of the identified best practices involves the integration of Persons Who Used
Drugs (PWUDs) into mainstream society. This holistic approach aims to lower crime
commission and increase clearance and solution efficiency by providing support and
opportunities for individuals who have surrendered due to drug-related issues.

Another best practice prioritizes the prevention of school incidents while empowering
youth to uphold peace and order. This proactive approach is dedicated to safeguarding the
welfare of young individuals who may have encountered school infractions or offenses.

In addition, a best practice has also been implemented to combat the propaganda of
Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) and other lawless organizations that specifically target
the youth and marginalized sectors of society. Through these efforts, the KPPO is
dedicated to safeguarding these vulnerable sectors from detrimental influences, ultimately
fostering peace and stability within the community.

The last best practice encompasses all the project initiatives of the KPPO as a
whole. This best practice involves dissemination of vital information about the PNP plans,
programs, and activities through airwaves and social media platforms.

By utilizing these communication channels, the KPPO aims to reach out to the
community, foster interaction, and gain their trust and respect towards the police force. This
approach recognizes the importance of transparency, engagement, and effective
communication in building strong relationships between the police and the community they
serve.

Through these best practices, the KPPO remains committed to promoting peace and
order, ensuring public safety, and bolstering stakeholder support in delivering services to
the community. These efforts are aimed at creating a safer Kalinga to live, study, work, visit
and do business.

Televisions, Radio, Internet, Messaging & Print (TRIMP) are famously utilized and
effectively used in interactive communication.

Catching up with the new trend of technology, remarkable story of community and
police collaboration unfolded through airwaves. The PNP radio program, "Pulisya Salaknib
ti Umili," became a catalyst for change, fostering a renewed sense of trust, safety, and
cooperation between law enforcement and the community it serves.

The best practice initiative of the Kalinga PPO was launched in the year 2015 and is
being implemented up to date. It is broadcasted twice a month in DZRK, Radyo Pilipinas
and simultaneously live streamed through DZRK official Facebook page and Kalinga PPO

Facebook page. The PNP radio program is covered with a Memorandum of Agreement and
it is now on its 8th year of implementation. The radio program focuses on peace and order
accomplishments, activities and programs of the PNP. As a result, the Kalinga PPO gained
the trust and confidence through winning the hearts and minds of the community.

Since the launching of the Pulisya Salaknib Ti Umili in 2015, it has garnered
increased community attention, as evidenced by the growing number of followers on the
Kalinga PPO Facebook page. The radio program and Facebook Live have emerged as
primary tools for engaging with the community, as shown.

Over the years of implementation of Pulisya Salaknib ti Umili, the Safety Index in
Kalinga has exhibited a gradual but notable ascent. Data from the Regional Headquarters
confirms this change, showing how the province's safety index has evolved.

Important to consider that the noted changes in the Safety Index percentile are
based on an actual number of respondents who participated in the Web-Based-Community
Survey (WeBoCes). It’s worth mentioning that the results of these surveys may not
necessarily reflect the factual safety environment of the province.

such as economic development. While the
Safety Index may have shown a decline, the evidence of economic development enjoyed
by the province suggests that there may be other positive aspects to consider when
assessing the safety environment.

During this period, the province of Kalinga garnered an influx of businesses and an
increase in tourist arrivals. This growth can be attributed, at least in part, to the
dissemination of information through radio programs, which helped create a positive
perception of the province’s safety and security.

From calendar year 2020 to calendar year 2023, the province of Kalinga witnessed
the increased influx in the business, travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors. Navigating the
dynamic economic landscape in the new normal, businesses in the province embarked on
a journey of continued evolution and growth. Market demands and competitive environment
shifted for business expansion and company development. The thriving dynamic
environment in the Province of Kalinga’s economic sector is illustrated below.

exchange. Statistics pertaining to international and domestic tourist arrivals indicate the
continuing growth of the tourism industry. During the onset of the COVID19 restrictions, the
tourism industry recorded 4,368 arrivals in 2020. A sudden leap on tourism activities started
to manifest in year 2021 with a recorded arrival of 53,188 and was doubled-up to 118,424
in the year 2022 and end of the year 2023 with 135,102 tourist arrivals. With this positive
outcome, the tourism industry in the province of Kalinga expects a tourist arrival of more
than 150,000 by the end of 2024.

The success of "Pulisya Salaknib ti Umili" extended beyond the airwaves. The radio
program and Facebook live became a conduit for building partnerships and securing
support from local businesses, civic groups, and concerned citizens. It catches the attention
of benefactors that enable Kalinga PPO to gain financial and logistical support to enhance
their capabilities and even extend financial support that ensures the sustainability of the
initiative.

During the planning and conceptualization of the best practice initiative, the proposal
in year 2015 presented an annual expenditure of PhP65,448.00, charge to the KPPO
MOOE. Worthy to note, the year 2025 ended with only PhP5,000.00 as incurred expense of
best practice Pulisya Salaknib iti Umili. Operational expenses from 2015 to 2023 to date
were free of charge, courtesy of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with DZRK, Radyo
Pilinas to conduct free airtime slot in their radio station. Over the years, the Kalinga PPO
gained and benefitted a total of PhP535,000.00.

Table 5. Pulisya Salaknib ti Umili Cost Benefit/ Gains

As the province recognize the success of Pulisya Salaknib ti Umili, the radio
program played a vital role in supporting the broader goals outlined in the PNP P.A.T.R.O.L
Plan 2030. The program’s regular updates on the organization’s progress have been
instrumental in highlighting the positive impact of community engagement, crime reduction,
and collaborative efforts.

By featuring these updates, the program has effectively showcased the PNP’s
commitment to building strong relationships with the community and working together to
address crime and maintain peace and order. It helps to foster a sense of trust,
transparency, and accountability between the police and the public.

The success of Pulisya Salaknib iti Umili demonstrates the power of effective
communication and community engagement in achieving the goals outlined in the
P.A.T.R.O.L Plan 2030, it serves as a platform to inform, educate, and inspire the
community, encouraging their active participation and support in creating a safer and more
secure environment.

The continuous display and advertisement of contact numbers for interactive


purposes during and after the radio program Pulisya Salaknib iti Umili, contributed to the
effectiveness and popularity of the best practice. By providing contact numbers, the
program facilitated direct communication and engagement with the listeners, allowing them
to interact with the KPPO and seek assistance.

The incident that transpired on the night of August 12, 2019, was indeed a significant
highlight of the best practice “Pulisya Salaknib iti Umili”. During that time, distress calls for
help were received by the program through its posted contact number on its official
Facebook page. The call came from a French National who had gotten lost while on tour
from Ilocos to Cordillera.

The prompt response and assistance provided by “Pulisya Salaknib iti Umili” in
coordination with Balbalan MPS were instrumental in ensuring the safety and well-being of
the French National. This incident showcased the effectiveness and value of the program in
providing immediate support and assistance to individuals in need, regardless of their
nationality.

The active presence on social media platforms and the availability of contact
numbers facilitated the timely resolution of this particular incident. This highlights the
importance of accessible and responsive communication channels in emergencies.

It is truly inspiring the good deeds and heroism displayed by the responding team,
led by PEMS Edwin B Gubiangan, PCMS Marion A Gacayan, PCpl Larry Puguon, PCpl
Leo Marrero, and the two AFP soldiers, Sgt. Del Rosario and Sgt. Pepsi Belaquio towards
the foreign tourist. Their actions were featured in the Foreign National Facebook page, and
the story of the heroism went viral when it was shared on Facebook on August 30, 2019

The letter from MR. JEFFERSON S LIMPIN


addressed to then C, PNP Director General OSCAR
DAVID ALBAYALDE, recounted the bravery and
dedication of the Balbalan MPS personnel involved in
the rescue. The recognition of their selfless acts of
courage and service garnered widespread attention
and appreciation.

In honor of their bravery, the PNP personnel


and the AFP soldiers were awarded the Meldaya Ng
Kagalingan during the 118th Police Service
Anniversary. This award serves as a testament to
their outstanding service and dedication to their duty.

2. Project KABADANG

The 1st Kalinga Provincial Mobile Force Company, Kalinga Police Provincial Office
best practice initiative formerly known as "Blessing Ko, Share Ko," started in 2015 and was
later rebranded in 2018 as Project “KABADANG" that stands for Kalinga At Pagmamahal
sa Kababayan; Biyayang Alay ng Kapulisan tungo sa Dakilang Adhikaing Kapayapaan na
Ninanais ng Mamamayan at Gobyerno.

This strategic initiative is geared towards countering the rise and resurgence of
Communist Terrorist Groups (CTG) by engaging active support and collaboration with the
youth sector and marginalized communities in far-flung barangays, in order to achieve the
shared goal of peace desired by both citizens and the government.

Through the implementation of Project KABADANG, the Kalinga PPO has cultivated
strong partnerships with local government units, tribal elders, civic organizations, and other
stakeholders to address the resurgence of insurgency in the province. From 2021 to 2023,
Through town hall meetings, workshops, and outreach programs, Project KABADANG

initiated open dialogue, enabling police personnel to listen to community concerns and
perspectives, fostering a sense of shared responsibility. These partnerships have become
integral to effective law enforcement, ensuring strategies are responsive to the unique
needs of the community.

Table 1. Project KABADANG Activities Conducted CY 2021-2023

Recognizing that knowledge is a powerful tool in the fight against crime, Project
KABADANG placed a significant emphasis on education. The initiative organized a series
of anti-criminality lectures, engaging with schools, community centers, and local gatherings.
These lectures went beyond traditional law enforcement narratives, delving into the root
causes of criminal behavior and promoting a culture of prevention.

Likewise, in an age dominated by internet, Project KABADANG recognized the need


to proactively shape the narrative surrounding law enforcement efforts. Information
Operation activities, including social media campaigns, press releases, and community
newsletters, were strategically employed to keep the public informed about ongoing
initiatives, successes, and collaborative efforts.

One of the most significant achievements of this best practice initiative was the
collaboration between the 1st KPMFC, as the project KABADANG, and Kalinga State
University. The Primary goal of project KABADANG is to shield the youth from influence of
Local Communist and Armed Conflict.

The 1st KPMFC in response to CHED CAR’s call for support to Regional
Memorandum 113, series of 2021, the best practice team promptly took action. This
memorandum supports President Rodrigo
Duterte’s Executive Order No.70, which
institutionalize the whole-of-nation approach
and establishes the National Taskforce to End
Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-
ELCAC). This taskforce combats communist
rebellion and encourages both private and
public higher education institutions (HEIs) in
Cordillera to eliminate ‘subversive’ materials
from their libraries and online information

services. Project KABADANG engaged with Kalinga State University officials and
students’ leaders to take a stand against terrorism.

As a result of the extensive


coordination between the 1st KPMFC and the
Kalinga State University for the removal of all
subversive materials, a significant
breakthrough was achieved. On September 2,
2021, Kalinga State University took the
proactive step of removing several handbooks
from its library. These handbooks had been
provided to them by them by the NDF of the
Philippines. In previous years. This action was
taken to safeguard the students and institution
from any potential communist infiltrations.

On its social media page, Kalinga State University (KSU) made a statement
regarding the Pullout of subversive materials, emphasizing its opposition to the ideologies
of the CPP-NPA. The institution declared that this decision was made in response to the
Government of the Philippines, specifically the Anti-Terrorism Council, declaring the group
as a terrorist organization in July 2021, following the previous declaration of the CPP-NPA
as terror group in December 2020. KSU stated that all items were removed from the
school’s book gallery and voluntarily surrendered to the joint force of the of the Armed
Forces of the Philippine (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).

As Project KABADANG gained its


momentum, another breakthrough surfaced. A
detailed description of the milestones of the
project KABADANG at KSU started when
SAMAKA, a left-leaning students organization
established in 2002, under the umbrella of
ANAKBAYAN of the aboveground mass
organizations of the Communist Party of the
Philippines – New People’s Army, was declared
persona non-grata at Kalinga State University.
The former officers and members of Samahan
ng Mag-aaral ng Kalinga (SAMAKA) signed a
manifesto on December 2, 2021, denouncing
the left-leaning organization and its illegal activities officially withdrawing their membership
and pledging their support to the government’s effort for peace and tranquility.

Additionally, SAMAKA was declared free from influence of insurgent groups through
a Whole-Of-Nation Approach and clearing operations. The area Clearing Evaluation Team,
which included the Kalinga PPO signed the declaration in November 2021.

By aligning with the government’s initiative, Project KABADANG is extending its


reach to the marginalized communities in Kalinga province. These communities, frequently
targeted by left-leaning groups for their propaganda against the government, are beginning
to recognize the futility of supporting these extremist factions.

Institutionalization Evaluation Process

Through their commitment to supporting the PNP, these communities are making a
proactive choice to pursue peace and stability. This shift in mindset has the potential to
bring about constructive transformations within the communities, fostering growth and
advancement throughout the province.

While community engagement was a cornerstone of Project KABADANG, the


initiative recognized the need for decisive Internal Security Operations. A series of targeted
interventions, informed by intelligence gathered through community partnerships, were
conducted to address specific issues.

Table 2. Internal Security Operations Conducted

Understanding the broader national context, Project KABADANG seamlessly


integrated the principles of Executive Order 70 (EO 70) into its framework. EO 70, which
addresses the root causes of insurgency and other armed conflicts, became a guiding
principle for the initiative. Project KABADANG actively collaborated with government
agencies, non-government organizations, and local communities to implement holistic
programs that addressed the socio-economic factors contributing to security.

Project KABADANG stood as a testament to the power of comprehensive,


community-driven initiatives in ensuring the safety and well-being of the people of Kalinga.
By establishing linkages, conducting educational programs, engaging in information
operations, executing internal security operations, and integrating national directives, the
Kalinga PPO's best practice became a beacon of effective and holistic law enforcement.

The ripple effects of Project KABADANG were felt not only in reduced crime rates
but in the strengthened fabric of a community united in security and committed to a shared
future. As a manifestation of the Project KABADANG effectiveness, this best practice
initiative brokered to the capture and voluntary surrendered of Local Communist Terrorist
member and retrieval, recovery of assorted firearms from their possession.

The notable decline from 34 CTG-affected barangays in 2021 to 4 CTG-affected


barangays in 2023 indicates the impact of Project KABADANG. This data suggests that the
project's strategies and initiatives have been successful in reducing the influence of threat
groups in the province. The significant decrease is a positive indicator of the project's
effectiveness in achieving its objectives and contributing to the improvement of peace and
security in Kalinga.

Ultimately, Kalinga Police Provincial Office is steadfast in its resolve to work tirelessly
towards ensuring that every barangay and municipality within the province of Kalinga
achieves the status of being insurgency-free.

3. Pulis Ko, Bespren Ko


Pulis Ko, Bespren Ko, is a project of the Kalinga PPO, schools, and communities,
aiming to portray the police as reliable friends in uniform. The initiative uses language-
specific communication strategies to explain programs and services, enhancing
understanding and acceptance.

Established in Rizal Municipal Police Station, Kalinga PPO, the project was first
piloted in the school year 2014-2015 at Rizal National School of Arts and Trade, leading to
a significant decrease in school issues from 2016-2018. From the school year 2019-2023, it
expanded to all secondary schools and elementary schools in the municipality of Rizal,
including one college. However, the 2018-2019 school year saw an increase in infractions,
worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted student’s routines until 2021.

The shift to online project efforts shifted to regular community forums, and outreach
programs through distributions of School Modules, and engagements, contributed to a
decrease in school incidents primarily related to school dropped-outs.

School Year CICL Incidents Number of Incidents


2023 Rape 1
2022 Rape 1
2021 Theft 1
2020 - 0
2019 - 0
TOTAL 3

In 2022-2023, a rise in rape cases was observed, which was linked to unrestricted
internet access potentially distorting youth’s moral values. To address this, Rizal Municipal
Police Station implemented the IMPLAN PANI-O/IMPLAN PANIYAW guidelines. This
resulted in increased public awareness also increased our community trust rating.

Countermeasures were intensified by Rizal MPS to address and pre-empt the


escalation of involvement of children in heinous crimes, hence, mentorship programs for
students, particularly those who had faced disciplinary issues and counseling sessions to
suspects and victims were intensified through a partnership with the MSWDO and the
religious sector headed by Pastor Water Semilla, Advisory Group member. Officers, as
mentors or "besprens," provided guidance, encouragement, and resources to help these
students overcome challenges and stay committed to their education. The project also
engaged parents in discussions about recognizing signs of substance abuse and fostering
open communication with their children.

The involvement of teachers, parents, and the community played a significant role in
the success of the project. Their active participation and support made a great impact, as
evidenced by the appreciation and support received from various stakeholders.

The “Pulis Ko, Bespren Ko” initiative has not only contributed to the reduction of
crime and drug-related issues but has also created a favorable environment for economic
growth and development. The increased stability and improved security have attracted
more investments and business opportunities, leading to the establishment of new
establishments and the creation of jobs.

To institutionalize the “Pulis Ko, Bespren Ko” Best Practice initiative, the Rizal
Municipal Police Station implemented the “PNP Sumbungan Ng Bayan Box” as a
monitoring tool. This innovative mechanism serves as a platform for receiving feedback and
complaints from the public, allowing the police stations to assess the progress of initiatives.

The introduction of the “PNP Sumbungan Ng Bayan Box” also helps improve the
public perception of the police station. By demonstrating that they are a responsive
organization that values and addresses public concerns, the Rizal MPS can build trust and
confidence within the community. Some of the concerns addressed through this platform
include:

As "Pulis Ko, Bespren Ko" made strides in community engagement, crime


prevention, and youth empowerment, it aligned seamlessly with the broader goals outlined
in the PNP P.A.T.R.O.L Plan 2030. The project actively contributed to institutionalizing
community-oriented policing practices, transparency, and collaboration—key elements of
the PNP P.A.T.R.O.L Plan.

In the long run, "Pulis Ko, Bespren Ko" became more than a project; it was a
transformative force shaping the future of Kalinga. Through trust-building, proactive crime
prevention, and an unwavering commitment to the youth, the project illuminated a path
towards a safer, more resilient community, where the police were not just enforcers but
genuine partners in progress.

4. Shalom Kalinga

The prevalence of drug abuse and its detrimental effects on individuals, families, and
communities cannot be understated. It is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted
approach. Shalom Kalinga is born out of the recognition that addressing drug abuse goes
beyond law enforcement; it requires compassion, understanding, and a concerted effort
from various sectors of society.

Shalom Kalinga was developed and adopted from Tabuk City Police Station that
started in 2016 as a result of the overwhelming number of “surrenderers” from the
nationwide Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign Plans: “Project Double Barrel” and “Oplan
Tokhang.”

The core of Shalom Kalinga is a robust spiritual counseling process, complemented


by a carefully designed moral recovery program. Each month, barangay official, pastors
and police personnel diligently monitor and counsel Persons Who Used Drugs (PWUDs) in
their respective barangay halls.

What sets Shalom Kalinga apart is its holistic and compassionate approach towards
addressing the critical needs of PWUDs. By nurturing a collaborative ecosystem of
stakeholders, it fosters a supportive environment for recovery and growth.

The emphasis on coordination with barangay officials for monitoring signifies a more
organized and community-involved strategy compared to potentially isolated efforts of the
past. In the context of Shalom Kalinga, this approach recognizes the pivotal role of
barangay officials as the frontliners who intimately understand the needs and dynamics of
their respective communities. By involving them in the monitoring process, Shalom Kalinga

ensures that interventions are not only effective but also tailored to the specific
circumstances of each barangay. This regular engagement ensures consistent support and
follow-up for PWUDs within their own communities.

The spiritual counseling process is a cornerstone of Shalom Kalinga, tapping into the
deep-rooted faith and values that are integral to many individuals. Pastors, who serve as
spiritual guides and mentors, play a crucial role in this process. They provide not only
religious guidance but also emotional support and a compassionate ear for PWUDs
seeking solace and direction. These sessions are conducted in a safe and non-judgmental
environment, encouraging individuals to open up about their struggles and aspirations.

By fostering closer ties between PWUDs and the community, Shalom Kalinga aims
to reduce stigma and discrimination associated with drug addiction. Through community
engagement activities and support groups, the program promotes understanding, empathy,
and acceptance, strengthening social bonds and fostering a sense of belonging.

This fruitful partnership with the Local Government Units since 2016 has also led to
the funding of the Community Based Rehabilitation Program and the Recovery Wellness
Program, which have collectively generated a net benefit of Php12,612,217.00 under
Shalom Kalinga.

Working closely with our partners to help and assist the complete recovery of the
PWUDs in order for them to rejoin and rebuild their lives especially in the community where
they belong. Through continued collaboration with the LGUs and ongoing investment in
these programs, Shalom Kalinga is poised to further amplify its impact, uplifting more lives
and fostering a brighter future for all.

On the Kalinga PPO's ongoing anti-illegal drugs operations, results have impressive
outcomes, surpassing initial targets and expectations. This success can be attributed to
several key factors within the initiative's comprehensive approach. The success is thanks to
the unwavering dedication and commitment of operatives, as well as the support of the
Anti-Drug Abuse Council.

Moreover, the strong support and cooperation from the community have played a
significant role. Shalom Kalinga's emphasis on community involvement and engagement
has fostered a sense of trust and partnership between law enforcement and the residents.
This has led to increased information sharing, tip-offs, and reports from concerned citizens
and PWUDs, which in turn has aided in the success of anti-illegal drug operations.

Wellness Program/Community-Based Rehabilitation Program (RWP/CBRP), showing
substantial advancement in their rehabilitation process. However, 597 individuals did not

as being arrested, passing away, being untraceable, or relocated. Additionally, 394 PWUDs
have yet to complete the program, underscoring the necessity for additional focus and
support to meet their rehabilitation requirements.

issues, mortality rates, and the need for better tracking and support systems for individuals

On the other hand, the accomplishments of Shalom Kalinga lie in its holistic and
collaborative approach to addressing drug abuse. By combining rehabilitation programs
with community engagement, law enforcement efforts, and spiritual counseling, the
