 The fulfilment of RA 9165 also known as the “Comprehensive Dangerous
Drugs Act of 2002” has been one of the outstanding laws on peace and security
of Duterte’s administration. On July 2016, the Philippine Anti-drug campaign
was implemented under the Duterte’s Presidency to mandate the Philippine
National Police (PNP) to execute the “Program Double Barrel (PDB)” as
