COMMUNITY-BASED TREATMENT SYSTEMS OF THE

PHILIPPINES

I. INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY-BASED TREAMENT IN THE

PHILIPPINES
PD 968, otherwise known as the Adult Probation Law, created the
Probation Administration, to conserve and/or redeem convicted offenders
and prisoners who are under the probation and parole system.
At the onset, community-based treatment to probationers was focused
mainly on individual and family counseling, home visits, monitoring and
clients family solidarity, conduct of various forms of seminars geared
towards their reformation. Community service and tree-planting formed
part of the clients involvement in the community.
With Executive Order 292, (The Administrative Code of 1987) the
Probation Administration has been renamed to Parole and Probation
Administration, with the added function of supervising the parolees and
pardonees who are granted parole or pardon with parole conditions.

A. Historical Development of Community-based Treatment:

Community-based treatment to clients initially started with
supervising clients by rehabilitating them through individual and family
counseling, home visits, value formation seminars and clients family
solidarity, skills training seminars and referrals for job placement. Clients
were likewise required to render community service and join tree planting
activities as a sort of repairing the harm they have caused to the community.
The community-based treatment spread its wings when Therapeutic
Community (TC) program for rehabilitation of offenders was introduced in
1

1998 by DAYTOP International, New York, U.S.A. TC, is a self-help Social

Learning Treatment Modality that uses the TC Family/Community of staff
(PPOs and VPAs) and clients as the primary therapeutic vehicle to

foster behavioral and attitudinal change. Its rules and norms, shared beliefs,
tools and processes combine to enable clients to actively work toward their
individual goals for right living.
Almost in simultaneous events, the Volunteer Probation Aide Program
took its turn to revitalization to ensure the community participation in
rehabilitation of clients especially in the implementation of the TC program.
The TC integrates RJ (Restorative Justice) principles and practices, and
mobilizes involvement of the general public through the Volunteer Probation
Aides.
The TC (Therapeutic Community), RJ (Restorative Justice) and the
Volunteer Program Aide (VPA) Agenda are harmonized but with separate and
distinct objectives and functions geared towards the reformation of clients:
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (RJ) is the philosophy and a process whereby
stakeholders in a specific offense resolve collectively on how to deal with the
aftermath of the offense and its implications for the future. It is a victimcentered response to crime that provides opportunity for those directly
affected by the crime the victim, the offender, their families and the
community to be directly involved in responding to the harm caused by the
crime. Its ultimate objective is to restore the broken relationship among
stakeholders. The RJ process provides a healing opportunity for affective
parties to facilitate the recovery of the concerned parties and allow them to
move on with their lives.
VOLUNTEER PROBATION AIDE (VPA) AGENDA is a strategy by
which the Parole and Probation Administration may be able to generate
maximum citizen participation or community involvement in the overall
process of clients rehabilitation.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY (TC) is a self-help social learning
treatment model used in a rehabilitation of drug offenders and other clients
with behavioral problems. TC adheres to precepts of right living Responsible Love and Concern, Truth and Honesty, the Here and Now,
2

Personal Responsibility for Destiny; Social Responsibility (brothers keeper);

Moral Clde; Work Ethics and Pride in Quality. The Therapeutic Community
(TC) is an environment that helps people gets help while helping themselves.
At present all the fifteen (15) regional offices throughout the
Philippines and its field offices fully implement the three (3) programs.

(60) days from receipt thereof. The court shall resolve the application for
probation not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of said report.
2) Pre-parole Investigation
In the case of those who apply for parole, a pre-parole investigation is
conducted to assess and evaluate whether or not the applicant is qualified
for parole. The Investigating Officer is given fifteen (15) days within which to
conduct a pre-parole investigation. Information were gathered using a Preparole questionnaire which will guide the Investigating officer in assessing
and evaluating the eligibility of parolees application/petition. A pre-parole
report is then submitted to the Board of Pardons and Parole for further study.

3) Probation/Parole Supervision

Probation Officer with the assistance of the Volunteer Probation Aide, work
hand in hand for the transformation of the client in collaboration with the
Community.

4) Rehabilitation Program and Services for Clients

The Parole and Probation Administration pursue its organizational
objective that is the rehabilitation of offenders in a community-based
setting and the reduction of crime incidence which are the anchor of its
program and services are statement as an individualized community-based
three-pronged approach to crime prevention and treatment of offenders with
Restorative Justice as its philosophical foundation, Therapeutic Community
as the treatment modality and Volunteers as lead community resource.
a. Restorative Justice Peacemaking Encounter Model
Restorative Justice (RJ) is a philosophy and a process whereby
stakeholders in a specific offense resolve collectively on how to deal
with the aftermath of the offense and its implication for the future to
16

heal the wounds of those affected by the offense: victim, offender,

family and the community.
Payments of Civil liabilities is one of the outcomes of Restorative
Justice (RJ) process. As part of the clients rehabilitation program, their
compliance with the legal and civil obligations to indemnify their victims as
determined by the courts was enforced by field probation and parole officers.
b. Therapeutic Community (TC) Modality
Therapeutic Community (TC) is a socialized self-help learning treatment
modality founded on such precepts as responsible love and concern,
honesty, humility, forgiveness, pride in quality, no free lunch,
and its overall goal is to move clients from wrong living to right
living.

17

For the period in review, all (226) field offices are implementing the
Therapeutic Community modality for clients, involves all (100.00%) of
clients who are capable of participating in the program during their
period of supervision.
c. Volunteer Probation Aides(VPAs)
One of the factors in strengthening the governance reform initiative of
the government is to heighten and maximize community involvement
and participation specifically in the prevention of crime, treatment of
offenders and criminal justice administration It is on this light that
Presidential Decree 968, otherwise known as the Probation Law of
1976, authorizes the appointment of citizens of good repute and
probity to act as volunteer probation aides(VPAs) to help in the
community-based program of the Agency. This was later enhanced by
the implementation of Executive Order No. 468 which revitalizes the
VPA program through the financial and technical assistance of Japan
International Cooperation Agency. Several In-country Training Programs
on Community based treatment of offenders was held in cooperation
with UNAFEI and JICA. The revitalization spawned the establishment of
a national umbrella organization, alliance of Volunteers for Peace
Advocates of the Philippines (AVPAP) and 218 local associations for an
effective promotion, utilization and sustainability of the program. To
date there are 13,034 appointed VPAs whose appointment duly noted
by the Secretary of Justice.

d. Government Savings
The Philippine probation and parole system is mandated to provide a
less costly alternative to the imprisonment of offenders.
Through
18

this system, the government was able to save excluding expenses for
the construction of additional prison facilities, additional number of
guards among others. Likewise, it increases government income
through tax paid by those clients who are employed and/or has other
income.

e. Jail Decongestions
Pursuant to the Memorandum of agreement entered into by this
Administration to Board of Pardons and Parole, Bureau of Jail
Management and penology, Public Attorneys Office and National
Prosecution Services, the Probation and Parole Officers nationwide
conducts regular jail visits, interview detainees and referrals them for
legal assistance to avail the benefits probation, parole and other forms
of executive clemency.
f. Resource Generation
Through linkages, information dissemination and participation in local
and national programs the Administration through its local office,
mustered enough support to warrant financial assistance from the
national and local government units, business groups, civil society
organization, religious sector, non-government organizations. To
disseminate the benefits of community-based rehabilitation program
for offenders was a joint undertaking of field officers and Volunteer
Probation Aides.
