2. PURPOSE:

This Memorandum Circular defines the strategic concepts, provides

guidelines and procedures to implement the PRO CALABARZON Crime Prevention
Program. The aim is to establish a strong and sustainable community defense
system against lawlessness and criminality.

3. SITUATION:

a. Background:

As what Sir Robert Peel said, “The Community is the Police and the
Police is the Community,” maintenance of peace and order is always a shared
responsibility between the people and the police. PRO CALABARZON crafted a plan
to combat the menace of crime and illegal drugs at the local level utilizing some
concepts in “Alsa Masa” which started in Davao City and in “Masa Masid” of DILG. In
this anti-crime program, citizens will be empowered to participate in eliminating drugs
and crime at the barangay level by helping the police gather intelligence and
information and conduct necessary community interventions. Thus, community
mobilization is important because each member is ultimately responsible for and
affected by situations of safety and security. Conversely, if the community is not
mobilized, the ideas and initiatives put forward by the police for crime prevention will
not prosper.

Page 2 of 17
 b. Peace and Order Situation:

For the peace and order situation in PRO CALABARZON Region, it

can be noted that the crime volume had continuously increased for the last three (3)
years having a general average of 46,663 crime incidents per annual. For Index
Crime, prevailing crimes were Theft and Physical Injury while for Non-Index Crime,
prevailing crime is Reckless Imprudence followed by Violation of Special Laws (RA
9165 included).

During the entire implementation of OPLAN Double Barrel, a total of

150,177 persons involved in illegal drugs operation were accounted and the
numbers still rise. 150,177 is 85.52% more than what is expected compared to the
number in the watch list which was 21,744 personalities After the volume of
surrenderers came out, PRO CALABARZON registered an 85.99% Drug Affectation
Rate wherein 3,455 out of the 4,018 total number of barangays regionwide were
affected barangays.

On insurgency matters, PRO CALABARZON has identified fourteen

(14) ISO Affected Barangays and recorded nine (9) CPP/NPA/NDF incidents of
attacks and other violent acts from January to March 2017.

For Wanted Persons, the average accomplishment on arrested

persons with warrants for three (3) years was 25.79%, compared with target
performance set which is 60% of the total number of WOA. The average
accomplishment was 42.98% beyond the target, contributory to this is the manner of
the community to harbor their relatives and friends who are considered wanted
persons.

The afore-cited statistical data is indicative of the worsening peace and

order problem that has victimized mostly the underprivileged and impoverished
sector of the society. Although much has already been done and accomplished, yet
the problems persist and it continued to breed social ills. Apparently, PNP has
implemented numerous programs and activities but still have overlooked the
worsening problem at the grassroots level that PNP alone cannot improve the peace
and order situation without the participation and support of the community.

4. MISSION:

PRO CALABARZON in partnership with other concerned agencies, shall

mobilize the CALABARZON communities and establish a strong and sustainable
community defense system against lawlessness and criminality by eliminating one or
more elements of crime: motive; instrumentality; and opportunity.

5. EXECUTION:

PRO CALABARZON shall implement “Community Mobilization Project” by

organizing the community into clusters, educating them of matters of importance to
prevent crime, empowering them with the conduct of different trainings to enhance
their skills and certifying barangay units who have exerted outmost efforts to mobilize
their communities in maintaining peace and order and promoting public safety.

Page 3 of 17
 a. CONCEPT OF OPERATION:

Under the Whole-of-Nation Approach, all the participating government

agencies/units with the supervision of PRO CALABARZON and Regional DILG
Office shall initiate area studies and perform evaluation, assessment of the
criminality and drug affectation of the barangays and subsequently execute
programs and operations to pave the way to decrease the number of crime incidents
and clear affected barangays. Meanwhile, this project will support the two of the four
Cross-Cutting Bedrock Strategies in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022
which are: Attaining just and lasting peace; and Ensuring security, public order and
safety which will be the basis of all public and private sectors in their plans, programs
and activities.

To be able to achieve the objective, this plan shall focus on five Phases
of Implementation: (1) Consultation; (2) Conceptualization and Approval; (3)
Launching of Project; (4) Implementation; and (5) Monitoring and Evaluation.

1) Consultation

With the present situation of peace and order in PRO CALABARZON,

dialogue and meetings with the Department of Interior and Local Government and
other concerned government agencies/units responsible with the maintenance of
peace, order and public safety were made before the formulation of this project.

2) Conceptualization and Approval

The idea of Community Mobilization Project was presented to the different

stakeholders of the community to gather information and ideas relative to its
implementation and to seek their acceptance of the plans and actions incorporated in
the project. Series of meetings with barangay chairmen, leaders of different religious
sectors and anti-crime groups, other government and non-government organizations
were conducted to formulate the procedures of the project.

3) Launching

To signal the start of the project, Community Mobilization Project will be

formally launched at different provinces in the region. It will be highlighted with the
signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the local government units,
Philippine National Police and Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Further, Covenant Signing will also be incorporated which will be participated by
representatives from religious sectors, anti-crime groups, academe and other
stakeholders to mark their support to the endeavor.

4) Implementation

The primary players of this project are the local chief executives in the
barangay level while other parties shall provide necessary support and assistance in
mobilizing the citizen in crime prevention and public safety activities.

together to act in common interest with the end goal of building a changed
community by empowering its community members with knowledge and skills.
Families, different groups, sectors and organizations in the communities shall be
organize to institutionalize programs, foster partnership and have active participation
in maintaining peace and order in their locality. Households shall be clustered into
groups wherein a cluster leader or contact person shall be selected.

Community organization should come with creating a culture of

nationalism, patriotism, vigilantism and the realization of the importance of social
responsibility, emphasizing the saying that, “Security is everybody’s concern.”

with concerned agencies will develop information operation materials for internal and
external audience which aims to regain the trust and confidence of the community by
developing awareness, alertness, participation, cooperation and reciprocal
responsibility among PRO CALABARZON constituents. This plan will also define the
reorganization of Speakers’ Bureau at different units/offices which will conduct
massive anti-crime awareness activities using a uniform module or vehicle.

4.d.2. Priority Barangays for Immersion Program

To classify barangay under this program, the level of criminality (more

on 8 Focus Crimes), ISO affectation and drug proliferation shall be considered and
compared: Crime Statistics versus Level of Drug Affectation versus ISO
Affectation. The following classification of barangays shall be observed in
determining the priority barangays:

 FOR CRIME STATISTICS, basis will be Crime Rate:

Crime Rate = (Crime Volume/Population) x 100,000

 Minimal – 1 to 20 Percent
 Median – 21 to 40 Percent
 Maximum – 41 Percent and above

Page 11 of 17
  FOR LEVEL OF DRUG AFFECTATION

 Drug-Unaffected Barangay – has not ever been plagued or

beset by any illegal drug activities
 Drug-Affected Barangay – Existence of drug user, pusher,
manufacturer, marijuana cultivator, or other drug personality
regardless of number
 Drug-Cleared Barangay – Subjected to drug-clearing
operations and declared free from any illegal drug activities
pursuant to the parameters set forth

 FOR ISO AFFECTATION

 Unaffected Barangay – has no manifestations of communist

terrorist’ activities in varying degrees nor existence of politico-
military structures.
 Threatened Barangay – definitely not classified as CT Affected.
It is barangay where the Sandatahang Yunit Propaganda (SYP)
and/or its detached teams called Armed Propaganda Teams
established initial contacts and conducted propaganda activities,
as well as preliminary social investigation. The contacts may be
organized in Barrio Liaison Group (BLG). This barangay could
easily develop into an affected barangay if initial CT incursions
are not checked.
 Less Influenced Barangay – is a barangay where the party has
established People’s Organizing Committee and People’s
Organizing Groups for peasants, women and the youth, and the
existence of Party Group performing task in one (1) sector.
 Influenced Barangay – is a barangay where the CTs have
established the Barrio Committee, Solid Mass Association and
Local Party Branch and a Regular People’s Militia and Self
Defense Units (SDU) exists.

4.d.3. Barangay Immersion Program
