    The document discusses a study on the attitudes and perceptions of 4th year criminology students towards the anti-illegal drug mass operations during President Duterte's administration in the Philippines. It provides background on the illegal drug problems in the Philippines, including the cultivation of marijuana in certain regions, small-scale production of methamphetamine in private properties to avoid detection, and the use of the Philippines as a transit hub for international drug trafficking. The study aims to investigate the students' knowledge and attitudes towards the anti-drug efforts, as future law enforcers, through an empirical study, as none have been previously conducted on this topic.

    TITLE:

    DRUGS: ATTITUDE AND PERCEPTION OF 4TH YEARS CRIMINOLOGY STUDENT


    OF YLLANA BAY VIEW COLLEGE TOWARD ANTI-ILLEGAL DRUG MASS
    OPERATION DURING DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION

    SHORT RATIONALE:

    “It’s a war without a clear enemy. Anything waged against a shapeless intangible
    noun can never truly be won” said by known U.S. drug czar Gen. Barry McCaffrey in
    1996. And yet, for how many years the U.S. government has spent over trillions of dollar
    fighting the war on drugs. Not just the U.S. has experienced this kind of dilemma but
    mainly the whole world has tackled this rampant and abusive case on illegal drugs.
    Despite the campaigns, increased in incarcerations rates, penalties, and crackdown on
    smuggling the number of illicit drug users in the world has raised over the years.

    In the Philippines the illegal drug issue remains a serious national concern. Two
    of the most used and valuable illegal drugs in the country are methamphetamine
    hydrochloride (shabu) and marijuana. Ephedrine and methylenedioxy
    methamphetamine are also among the list of illegal drugs that are of great concern to
    the authorities.

    The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency identified that the mountainous parts of


    Northern Luzon, Eastern Visayas and Mindanao are viable for marijuana cultivation.
    Marijuana produced in the country is distributed locally and is also exported to other
    countries. Local distribution of marijuana increased in 2012 despite destruction of illegal
    marijuana plantations.

    Drug syndicates have been producing methamphetamine in small-scale and


    kitchen-type laboratories to avoid detection by the Philippine authorities since 2010.
    Usually, drug syndicates rent warehouses for use as drug laboratories. These
    syndicates have moved towards renting houses in private subdivisions, condominiums
    and apartments to be used as bases for their illegal drug production. Private properties
    are becoming more favorable to drug syndicates as sites of illegal drug production.
    Methamphetamine remains more feasible to sell in the Philippines than cocaine, a more
    costly illegal drug.
    Owing to its geographical location, international drug syndicates use the
    Philippines as a transit hub for the illegal drug trade. Some local drug syndicates are
    also involved in the international illegal drug trade, and utilize drug mules to transport
    small amounts of illegal drugs to other countries. Some overseas Filipino workers have
    been utilized by drug syndicates as drug mules, either knowingly or unknowingly. Most
    Filipino drug mules, mainly women, are sent to China, where drug convicts will face
    execution via lethal injection. The Ninoy Aquino International Airport has been identified
    as a favorable illegal drug trafficking hub.
    Some Filipinos choose to be involved in drug trafficking due to the promise of a
    high income. Some still participate in such illicit activity because they are forced by
    certain circumstances. There were reports in the past that some Filipinos, usually
    women, were forced and blackmailed by drug. syndicates to work as drug couriers, and
    if they refused, their family's safety would be compromised. The Manila-based firm,
    Pacific Strategies & Assessments, identified the Philippines as, "not only a
    transshipment point, but also a key producer of synthetic drugs for all of Asia" in a report
    made in 2009.In December 2013, The Philippine National Police- Anti-Illegal Drugs
    Special Operations Task Force and the Philippine Drug Enforcement confirmed reports
    that the MexicanSinaloa Cartel had started operations in the country.
    There is no empirical study that has been conducted in this particular situation.
    Hence the researchers of this said study, as a future law enforcer would focus on the
    investigation, specifically on the student’s knowledge and their attitude towards anti-
    illegal drugs during Duterte administration.
