MESSAGE

Congratulations to the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) for the publication of the PPSC Journal 1st Quarter 2019 Edition, with the theme “Professionalizing Personnel for Public Safety and Security.”

Meeting the demands for professional growth and improved services to the public rests on the shoulders of every government agency and its personnel. Anchored on this premise, the PPSC, an attached agency of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), raises the quality of its services by equipping future leaders of the police, fire, and jail bureaus with utmost professional competence to better serve and protect the public.

This edition aptly tackles the necessity of professionalizing personnel for public safety and security through additional personnel, acquisition of modern and essential equipment, and construction of facilities critical to the function and performance of the PPSC to deliver its mandated duties and responsibilities.

As the official newsletter of the PPSC, I am confident that the PPSC Journal will be a vehicle in communicating the best of what the PPSC has accomplished anchoring on its vision to “become one of the best public safety education and training institutions in Southeast Asia.”

In behalf of the DILG Family, rest assured of our continued support to the PPSC’s various initiatives.

Congratulations on the publication of the PPSC Journal 1st Quarter 2019 Edition.

PHILIPPINE PUBLIC SAFETY COLLEGEAl-fer Building, 505 EDSA cor Boni Serrano Avenue, Quezon City

www.ppsc.gov.ph

Welcome to the 1st Quarter 2019 edition of the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) Journal. This year is a significant chapter for PPSC as an institution. Our strides in making our programs responsive and relevant to promote peace and order, ensure public safety and security, and strengthen local government capacity in delivering basic services to the citizenry were tested beyond measure. But while these vagaries in the ever-changing public safety landscape has been profound, our commitment to stay relevant to the concerns of our clientele, of the communities, and of the nation remains unchanging.

Our theme “Professionalizing Personnel for Public Safety and Security” underscores this commitment. As a public safety education institution, our goal is to provide lifelong and holistic skills to our students with both commitment and passion to accompany these attributes. Though we have experienced several setbacks along the way, it drove us to become adaptable without compromising our core values and our persistence to deliver quality service and realize our vision.

Quoting Abraham Lincoln, we in PPSC believe that “the best way to predict the future is to create it.” The College for its part created the path to achieve its future through its PPSC Vision 2022 and Legacy Plan Ten-Point Strategic Goals – ACCELERATE. It has spearheaded several researches and educational programs combined with mass launching of infrastructure projects throughout its campuses. It will continue to do so in years to come.

This issue articulates the future that the PPSC, together with our six Constitutive Units and 17 Regional Training Centers, intends to create. I hope that these milestones build the confidence of everyone in the College’s commitment to continually produce public safety and security officers who are forerunners of change in realizing peaceful and progressive communities.

Finally, I encourage you to learn more about the College’s activities in this quarter in the following pages. The work that we do complemented by the partnerships that we cultivated as well as the massive support of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), other government institutions, and non-government organization helped us in continuously realizing this future. Indeed, the future is now and we thank you for creating it with us.

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK

EDITORIAL

The theme for the maiden issue of the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) Journal this 2019, “Professionalizing Personnel for Public Safety and Security” sets the tone of the direction PPSC intends to undertake for the year coming from no less than the Secretary of the Interior and Local Government (SILG) Eduardo M. Año.

With this in mind, PPSC has already set in motion its plans with the conduct of programs that not only advances the education and training of personnel but more importantly can greatly contribute to the community in the long run.

The standard portions of the Journal are still in place with PPSC News tackling the initiatives of the PPSC particularly in support of the government’s thrusts to include the creation of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), National Security Policy, National Security Strategy, and National Crisis Management. Flagship programs such as the Master in Public Safety Administration (MPSA) and Master in Crisis and Disaster Risk Management (MCDRM) as well as various linkages were also highlighted in this portion.

The Cover Story further highlights the theme with the full text of the SILG’s speech during the New Year’s Call.

For the Constitutive Units (CUs) In Focus and Regional Training Center (RTC) Spotlight, the breakthrough programs and noteworthy accomplishments are presented for appreciation of the readers.

Lastly, the Features section presents accounts from student officers taking the Public Safety Officers Senior Executive Course (PSOSEC) with regard to their experiences during their Foreign Academic Study. It also includes details of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) graduating class Top 10 to serve as an inspiration and motivation for the readers to continuously pursue learning despite any age.

“Professionalizing Personnel for Public Safety and Security”

As stated in the Constitution, “Public Office is a public trust.” Part of this trust is ensuring that civil servants are well-equipped with the knowledge in performing their duties and responsibilities. Rest assured that the PPSC will continue to perform its mandate as the premier educational institution for the training, human resource development, and continuing education of those in the police, fire, and jail bureaus and even beyond in the near future.

PPSC students proudly wave the Philippine flag during one of the Patriotism Seminars held in RTC 12.

The Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) and the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) embarked on a partnership in the conduct of a seminar on Developing Patriotic Leaders in support of Executive Order (EO) No.70 Creating the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) held at the National Capital Region Training Center (NCRTC) on March 5, 2019 and at the National Police College (NPC) on March 6, 2019.

The NCRTC seminar is a five-day event participated by 49 members of the Public Safety Junior Leadership Course (PSJLC) Class 2018-12 from the Special Action Force (SAF) and staff of the NCRTC under the supervision of the Regional Training Director (RTD) PSupt Nelvin M Ricohermoso. These SAF students are intended to be developed into Cadre-type instructors who shall share their acquired knowledge to other SAF personnel.

The event held at the NPC was participated by the 37 members of the Master in Public Safety Administration (MPSA) Class 2019-09, 90 student officers taking the Public Safety Officers’ Senior Executive Course (PSOSEC) Class 2019-01, 58 students of the Public Safety Officers Advanced Course (PSOAC) Class 2019-04, 60 from PSOAC Class 2019-

PPSC and NICA Pursues Partnership in Support of NTF-ELCAC 06, 45 from the Public Safety Officers Basic Course (PSOBC) Class 2019 - 01, and 46 members of PSOBC Class 2019-02. PPSC and NPC key officials were also in attendance

On both occasions, NICA Deputy Director General PCSupt Abelardo P Villacorta (Ret.) and other NICA officials discussed the following topics: Extent of Communist Terrorist Groups (CTG) Infiltration of Government Offices; Orientation for Government Personnel on CTG Problem; and CPP/NPA/NDF Strategy and Tactics.

PPSC President, PDDG Ricardo F De Leon (Ret.), Ph.D. emphasized the importance of this newly developed module to be included at the different Program of Instructions (POIs) of the Public Safety Basic Recruit Course (PSBRC) and career courses offered at the different Regional Training Centers (RTCs). “The police students must uphold the highest standard of service for

our people, always bearing in mind that the Filipino deserves efficient, effective and responsive government service and adopt a National Peace Framework to end local communist armed conflict,” he added.

Both activities culminated with a Candle Lighting Ceremony and signing of a Pledge of Commitment to the government’s efforts to end the CTG problem in three years.

Similar activities are conducted for the graduating cadets of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) on March 13, 2019 and it will also be cascaded among the students and personnel of the RTCs.

EO No. 70 was signed on December 4, 2018 by President Rodrigo R. Duterte directing the adoption of a National Peace Framework and institutionalizing the whole-of-nation approach to attain inclusive and sustainable peace in the country to address the root causes of the armed conflict.

The public safety and security officers of Class 2018-04 taking up the ladderized Public Safety Officer Senior Executive Course – Master of Public Safety Administration (PSOSEC-MPSA) program attended the briefing on the National Security Policy (NSP) 2017-2022, National Security Strategy (NSS) 2018, and National Crisis Management (NCM) 2019 at the Presidential Situation Room, Malacañang Compound on February 28, 2019. The briefing served as an avenue for the class to deepen their level of awareness as well as raise their points of clarification on the abovementioned authoritative government documents on national security.

In addition, he explained the instruments of national power, wealth creation and resource generation, and key feature of strategic actions which constitute the NSS. He concluded with his discussion of the NCM which seeks to provide a unified framework for inter-government agency coordination,

collaboration and cooperation in responding to both natural and man-made crises. Notably, the NCM has been codified into the Core Manual, on the one hand, which is the overarching framework for national crisis management, and the Practical Guide, on the other hand, which is a compact reference for Cabinet Officers Primarily Responsible (C-OPR).

He was followed by the National Security Adviser and National Security Council Director General, Gen Hermogenes C Esperon Jr (Ret.) who discussed the latest updates on the Duterte administration’s efforts to address the country’s pressing public safety and security issues and challenges, namely: law and order and administration of justice, internal armed conflicts, terrorism and

71ST QUARTER 2019 • PPSC JOURNAL

The graduation of the pioneer class of the Public Safety Officers Senior Executive Course – Master in Public Safety Administration (PSOSEC-MPSA) Class 2018-08 composed of 39 participants, 32 from the Philippine National Police (PNP), one from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), two from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), and four from the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC), was held on January 31, 2019 at the Multi-Purpose Hall, Camp Crame, Quezon City with the Secretary, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Eduardo M. Año as Guest of Honor and Speaker represented by DILG Undersecretary for Peace and Order, Bernardo C. Florece, Jr.

Prior to the conduct of the PSOSEC-MPSA Program, PPSC collaborated with the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) for the Twinning Program leading to the completion of PSOSEC and the degree of Master in Public Management offered by DAP for the continuing education of our tri-bureaus’ Commissioned Officers. But with the revival of the new MPSA – PPSC’s capstone program as a high-level policy, strategy and leadership program, PPSC, true to its role as recognized in the National Security Policy 2017-2022 to train competent policy analysts, security planners and intelligence officers for future generations of national security leaders and managers to build up and expand the pool of national security practitioners in the country, offered this program for the PSOSEC students.

After eight months of grueling academic rigors, the following students were awarded for Academic Excellence: PSupt Ma Ivy P Castillo, gold medalist as the First Honor; PSupt Eduardo L Danguecan Jr, silver medalist; and all tied for third are PSupt Teresita M Guillermo, PSupt Brindo H Nacario, Capt Roderick V Denila.

Moreover, PSupt Castillo, Class President; PSupt Jay D Guillermo, Class Marcher, and PSupt Teresita M Guillermo were given Leadership Awards.

Recognized for Best Policy Papers were PSupt Bernard L Lao with this study on “Building Up the Operational Capability of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Crime Laboratory for the Effective Detection of Criminals”; Dr. Romeo S. Magsalos, Dr. Noel M. Capulong and Cynthia C. Dionco for their paper on “A Preliminary Study on the Development of Organizational Competence Framework for Homeland Security Professionals in the Philippines”; and PSupt Ma Ivy P Castillo, PSupt Jay D Guillermo, and PSupt Arnold D Razote for the policy study on “The Filipino Youth Programs on Preventing Radicalism, Violent Extremism and Insurgency: Towards Policy Development (Perspective of State Universities and Colleges in the Province of La Union).”

Citing from the valedictory address of PSupt Castillo, she said their graduation, “…is a nod of accepting the challenge of public service for we never swerve from our solemn oath of office nor violate our vows or betray the public trust, we are officers, be it in the police service, BJMP, or Coast Guard, we must

wear our badge with dignity and honor.” She also shared this quote from Vince Lombardi, “Perfection is unattainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”

On the other hand, USec Florece delivered this message to the graduating class, “Our country, with diverse problems of criminality, emergencies, natural disasters, fire incidents, and terrorist attacks, has a pressing need for men and women like you who have been honed to lead and manage law enforcement units, oversee emergency management teams, and other crucial public safety services… You have embarked on a life changing matter, not just for your career but, of course, for the countless lives you may one day rescue or protect. Please remember that careers in public safety administration require a desire to serve the greater good, not what can be good for you or for a handful of your friends that may compromise your sworn job. Always keep in mind and close to your heart, civil service ethics. Holding fast to integrity is fundamental in delivering much needed public services… You deserve to be leaders in public safety institutions and be in the forefront of developing our nation into a better protected, prepared and resilient country.”

On related news, a study by MPSA Class-07 alumna, Dr. Marilyn L. Baysa on “Evaluating the Training Program for Police Non-Commissioned Officers Mandatory Courses Towards an Enhanced Public Safety – Security Driven Instruction” was awarded the PPSC Presidential Award. Her study now serves as the model and template in the preparation of PPSC policy papers and academic researches in the future.

MCDRM Holds 2nd Commencement Exercise

After a year of hard work and perseverance, the 36 scholars of the second batch of the Master in Crisis and Disaster Risk Management (MCDRM) marched on their Graduation Ceremony last January 17, 2019. It was held at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City and graced by Guest of Honor, Atty. Lesly Jeanne Y. Cordero, Senior Disaster Risk Specialist from World Bank.

For the second batch of scholars, the journey towards getting the MCDRM degree started as an aspiration. Coming from different government agencies, uniformed and non-uniformed services, private and non-government organizations, the scholars met during the Opening Ceremony held last December 2017. Since then, they went through the rigor of completing the academic requirements. The MCDRM Program is offered through a blended learning modality using face to face interactions in classes and seminars as well as online interactions.

On top of these academic requirements were foreign and local academic field studies that exposed the scholars to different agencies working for crisis and disaster related matters. During the academic field studies, students were given the chance to immerse themselves in the actual work of leaders in such difficult times. Moreover, the local academic field studies included visits in different government and private agencies to include those in the province of Laguna, Cavite, Metro Manila, and Davao. Meanwhile, for their foreign academic field studies, they visited Japan’s top universities and agencies for a glimpse of the best and most recent practices in crises and disaster scenarios.

During the ceremony, PPSC President, PDDG Ricardo F De Leon (Ret.), Ph.D. commended the graduates for successfully hurdling the challenges and successfully completing the MCDRM program for their big achievement.

Likewise, in the speech delivered by Atty. Cordero, she expressed her appreciation to the MCDRM graduates as the country’s hope in the field of crisis and disaster risk management. Atty. Cordero furthered her interest to collaborate with the MCDRM graduates in the future.

The successful graduates of the MCDRM Batch 2 scholarship program are from the following agencies: Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Science and Technology (DOST) – PAGASA; Office of Civil Defense (OCD), Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), PPSC, Panahon TV, AMITY Volunteer Fire Brigade, and Local Government Units from the provinces of Quezon, Agusan del Norte, Laguna, Rizal, and Cavite as well as Quezon City.

Major Mark Anthony U Ruby, the Executive Assistant of the Secretary for the Interior and Local Government (SILG) was the topnotcher of the class. In his speech during the ceremony, he highlighted what makes their batch unique as well as their unique responsibility as MCDRM graduates.

“The glue that bound us was a borrowed principle - ‘Ubuntu’ which eventually was adopted as the class philosophy during one of our many exchanges. All throughout, we carried its values of oneness, solidarity in spirit, compassion, selflessness, respect and integrity. Ubuntu has literally and figuratively influenced each area of a MCDRMer’s life – weeklong lectures and recitations starting with ‘I believe’, weekly individual turn-ins and constant assignment reminders, group discussions, friendly debates and online classes, local and foreign travels and ten thousand pictures, writing and what seemed endless re-writing of theses, consultations with advisers, and crossing fingers and prayers of hope for advisers to approve our drafts… Now, as crisis and disaster risk managers, as contingency planners, and as policy and program innovators, among others, the lessons and values of MCDRM will continue to be our moral compass as we perform our tasks with zeal and determination. We have put ourselves in a position to help, and now we are more prepared to the call of duty beyond zombies and six thousand words – which of course only Class Matatag will understand,” he further stated.

The graduation ceremony was graced by PPSC officials, Course Directors, resource persons, partner institutions, and families of MCDRM Graduates.

Social Entrepreneurship and Human Resource Development is a social development organization offering entrepreneurship, management and education training programs and services, as well as livelihood and skills training courses for development institutions, cooperatives, banks, educational institutions, and micro and small enterprises.

In its refined strategic management procedures, the context of organization, the identification of relevant interested parties, and risk management were given emphasis. Among the issues that were included in internal and external issues that the units need to determine, aside from legal, technological, and cultural, are the competitive, market, knowledge, and performance as specified in clause 4.1 of the standard. Likewise, the extent on how these positive and negative factors extend or affect the relevant Interested Parties will now be evaluated by the units. This is to comprehensively assess the threats and opportunities of the organization that it must address or pursue. The discussion was extended to the procedures of addressing nonconformities and issuing corrective actions as the way to address the identified risks.

The PRD also convened all document control owners in the PPSC Head Office and the seminar participants to discuss development in current documentation procedures including control of retained documented information; and control of nonconforming output.

PPSC and British Council Sign Memorandum of UnderstandingDr. Maria Leonora G. Tuibeo

On February 8, 2019, Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC), represented by its President, PDDG Ricardo F De Leon (Ret.), Ph.D., and the British Council, represented by its Country Manager Ms. Pilar Aramayo-Prudencio, signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Institutional Partnerships on Community Security and Justice Solutions for Social Cohesion at the Discovery Suites, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. It was witnessed by PPSC Vice President for Administration, PCSupt Ferdinando G Sevilla (Ret.), and Director of the National Police College (NPC), Dr. Romeo S. Magsalos along with other key officials of the PPSC and its Constitutive Units. It was also during this time that a High-Level Forum on the Relevance of Community Policing on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) was conducted.

The MOU intends to allow both parties to commit themselves and participate in collaborative academic and training activities for the purpose of attaining the respective objectives and mission of the parties and enhancing cooperation, such as developing curricula relevant to the PPCS and the NPC’s Center on Community Policing and Center for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism.

As a kick-off activity of the partnership, the forum on the relevance of community policing to PCVE brought together topnotch law enforcement officers, academicians, and development advocates to discuss the concepts and practices of community policing, and its impact on preventing radicalization and violent extremism, as well as countering terrorism. There were sharing on local and global community policing practices and challenges.

PDDG De Leon gave the keynote speech on the necessity of a strong community policing grounded in a network of partnerships with other government and non-government institutions. He talked about various PPSC initiatives which include among others the integration in the Programs of Instruction the topics on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Insurgency, Strategic Intelligence, Transnational Crimes, Procedural Justice, and Incident Command System to equip the student-officers with the knowledge and skills in countering threats to local and national security.

The Directors of the PPSC Constitutive Units shared their institution’s best practices as well as the challenges. PCSupt Abraham Rojas, Deputy Director of the Directorate for Human Resources and Doctrine Development (DHRDD) of the PNP, commended the various presentations and he pledged to make reports which will strongly recommend PCVE as part and parcel of the standard and specialized courses of the trainings handled by his office.

PDir Lina Sarmiento (Ret.), former Chairperson of the Human Rights Victims Claims Board, stated that human rights have not yet been internalized by Filipinos, even those in the security forces in the government, supposedly the duty-bearers in the protection and promotion of human rights. She noted that the resulting frustration leads to a feeling of injustice, and thus a breeding ground for radicalization. Hence, law enforcement should first and foremost commit to protect human rights in order to effectively conduct community policing.

Mr. Pieter Cronjé, a community policing expert and international human

rights lawyer, shared global policing practices. He presented PCVE models from the United Kingdom, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Singapore and Indonesia. He mentioned the necessity to strengthen Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLAT) between countries to prevent transnational crimes. He also discussed the programs of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), as well as the 2017 Manila Declaration of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). He emphasized that the empowerment of communities is the key factor in preventing radicalization. According to him, there are several means to do this, including focusing on women and children; economic development; education and training; building trust, and; creating channels of communication. He further stressed the importance of a holistic approach in addressing this problem.

Dir. Jennie Mordeno from the Joint Normalization Committee of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) presented the challenges faced by the institution. She stated that partnerships with AFP and PNP are still on-going, and there are many more to come, particularly on community policing.

The participants came up with short-term, medium-term and long-term ptlans of action on the utilization, maximization and improvement of community policing practices to prevent and counter radicalization and violent extremism.

The forum was facilitated by Ms. Tatine Faylona, Conflict and Community Resilience Expert of the British Council, and Ms. Cynthia Dionco, Registrar III of NPC.

Setting the Direction for 2019:Professionalizing Personnel for Public Safety

and SecurityThe Secretary of the Interior

and Local Government (SILG) led the traditional New Year’s Call of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and its attached agencies on January 11, 2019 held at the Multi-Purpose Center in Camp Crame, Quezon City.

In his speech, the SILG directed the entire DILG family to ensure that their services are being felt by communities through strengthened peace and order campaigns, improved public safety programs, and more responsive local governance.

He particularly called on the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) to continue on with their mandate to further the trainings and capability enhancement of our public

safety and security personnel. He further noted that “…such trainings should be those that are actually needed by our people, promote good values, and continually develop their character.”

This message was also cascaded by PPSC President, PDDG Ricardo F De Leon (Ret.), Ph.D. during the PPSC’s New Year’s Call in its new Head Office at the MWSS Compound, Katipunan Avenue cor. Ayala Heights, Old Balara, Quezon City.

“According to author Melody Beattie, ‘The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.’ 2019 may be a new year, a new beginning as they say, but it is still part of our 25th

Anniversary. With this in mind, we have to be able to define and have a consistent understanding of the PPSC’s niche. We aim to become a Center of Excellence in Public Safety and Security. That will be our defining characteristic,” PDDG De Leon said.

COVER STORY


Introduction A pleasant morning and

happy new year to all!We began 2018 full of zeal to

carry out our mandate and help our president realize his vision for the country to be free from corruption, criminality, illegal drugs, and other problems.

Both are critical to make our countrymen enjoy a “Matatag, Maginhawa, at Panatag na Buhay” as they themselves have voiced out in Ambisyon Natin 2040 and in the Philippine Development Plan.

If I were to describe 2018, it was a year that is both challenging and fulfilling.

Amidst unfounded and unfair allegations from some sectors, including police abuses and disregard of law in the conduct of police operations, we continued to win the war against illegal drugs, criminality, and violent extremism because we adopted the Whole-of Nation-Approach in our drive.

Our PNP was unrelenting and uncompromising in its campaign that resulted in the arrest, death, surrender and even rehabilitation of drug personalities.

Local institutions such as Peace and Order Councils, Anti-Drug Abuse Councils and People’s Law Enforcement Boards were strengthened and mobilized to support the PNP’s campaign.

Further, local chief executives who were either not supporting the campaign or were involved in illegal drugs and criminal activities were investigated and charged in court.

Message of the Secretary of the Interior and Local Government

GEN EDUARDO M AÑO (RET.)During the DILG New Year’s Call 2019

PNP Multi-Purpose Center, Camp Crame, Quezon City

What also proved critical to our success was the internal cleansing we initiated in the PNP which led to the dismissal, demotion, and suspension of thousands of erring police officers.

We made sure that those who enforce the law possessed the moral compass to lead the campaign.

All these have effected a substantial decrease in crime volume and index crimes and our people feeling a lot safer than before.

We also made sure that the Department, most especially our attached Bureaus: the Philippine National Police, the Bureau of Fire Protection, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, and the Philippine Public Safety College have what it takes to carry out their mandates.

It is impossible for us to excel in our work, even if we have our collective hearts and minds into what we are doing, if we, ourselves, do not have the right resources.

Hence, last year, we added thousands into their rosters, acquired mission-essential equipment, and constructed facilities critical to their function and performance.

All of which are now helping our personnel do their duties more effectively and efficiently.

Another challenge is to make the Government felt by the people.

That is why we had to strengthen citizen’s participation in governance.

Hence, as the Chair of the Cabinet Cluster on Participatory Governance, the DILG made civil society organizations active fixtures in local development councils that helped ensure that the projects that are being implemented at the local level are the ones that the people really need and will address their concerns.

Additionally, we made sure that programs and projects are implemented so they could benefit the people, especially the poor and the marginalized.

The Department accelerated the implementation of thousands of projects such as water systems, roads, evacuation centers, and healthcare and sanitation facilities among others.

Hindi naman dapat na kung kelan patay na ang kabayo ay saka pa lamang darating ang damo.

Thus, in the face of calamities that struck our country like Typhoon “Ompong” and tropical depression “Usman” which claimed numerous lives, we played a key role in building the preparedness and resilience of our local government units.

Most importantly, we had to make local governance more responsive, effective and corrupt free.

The Department pursued its good local governance initiatives in a way that differed from the past – we probed and charged in court local officials who did not do what they were supposed to do, including those who failed to preserve and protect Boracay island, those who failed to comply with environmental laws, and

COVER STORY


those who failed to organize their anti-drug abuse councils.

Bantay Korapsyon was also launched to underscore the resolve of this administration to stamp out corruption down to the local level.

Needless to say, and overall, we have overcome these challenges because we were strong and determined to complete the tasks at hand.

My DILG family, the success we registered in 2018 brought about two new other challenges that we should similarly overcome this year:

First, the ever-growing confidence of the President on the capability of the DILG to deliver whatever directive or assignment is given us.

Marami tayong napatunayan at natapos sa mga ipinag-utos ng ating Pangulo nitong nagdaang taon. Asahan pa natin na sa 2019 ay mas marami pang kautusang darating bunsod na rin sa pagtitiwalang iyon ni Pangulong Duterte sa atin.

Let us not fail him! Second, the high expectation

and demand by the Filipino people for the DILG to remain active in the campaign for good local governance and better peace and order and public safety climate. Let us not fail them as well in 2019! Moving forward

Allow me therefore to take this opportunity to call on you to work with me on the following priorities this year:

We shall sustain the momentum on our Public Order and Safety Advocacies:

1. Our Anti-Illegal Drugs and Anti-Criminality Campaigns will be not only be intensified, but will be more focused and methodical.

The accomplishments we have achieved last year speak well for our dedication and commitment. We need to capitalize on these positive

gains so that once and for all, we can eliminate, if not minimize, these societal menaces to ensure safer and peaceful communities.

But along this challenge is a reminder to our PNP to constantly observe the respect for Human Rights and always abide by the mandates of the law which you have sworn to enforce and protect.

2. We also need

We need to introduce more innovative ways to counter this threat. Vigilance is the key!

I therefore direct the BJMP not to allow any of our jail facilities to become recruitment havens for violent extremist groups.

3. Moreover, we shall double our efforts in ending Insurgency in our country.

We will continue strengthening our ties with the various sectors of the society so that we can effectively address the communist problem.

But aside from the enhanced Combat and Law Enforcement Operations together with the AFP, we will also push for non-violent means.

We shall therefore strive and work for the success of the localized peace talks with rebel groups so that the implementation of programs and projects by the LGUs and the national government will continue unhampered.

Coupled with providing assistance to former rebels, this initiative will go a long way in sustaining peaceful and orderly communities nationwide.

4. A d d i t i o n a l l y , we must prepare our LGUs for disasters and calamities.

In the face of unpredictability of weather disturbances, LGUs should always observe maximum or extreme preparedness rather than employ a calibrated response to them. This approach will save more lives and further reduce the number of casualties.

Further, we should step up our advocacy and awareness drive and make sure local chief executives are on top of the preparations.

I expect the PNP and BFP to be always prepared to act as first and reliable responders during such crisis.

Malaki ang inaasahan sa inyo sa mga ganitong pagkakataon.

to enhance our awareness and readiness in addressing the emerging threat of Violent Extremism.

We all know that terrorism is a war without borders! The danger and destruction that it brings knows no age, gender, nor affiliations. We had our first-hand experience in Marawi City, hence, we should do our best to prevent it from happening again.

With the high expectations of the

people and the President from our Department, we need a thoroughly

competent and professional corps of

officials and personnel to carry out the tasks in

front of us. I call on PPSC President

De Leon and LGA Executive Director

Vecina to further the trainings and capability

enhancement of our own people.

COVER STORY


2019 will be a year where we will decide the fate of our country by choosing our new path as well as our leaders.

1. With the transfer to and supervision by the DILG of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), the National Youth Commission (NYC), and the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), we need to ensure that their programs and projects are truly responsive to the sectors that they are supposed to work for.

I therefore encourage everyone to help and support our newest members of the DILG family for them to align their priorities with the Department’s mandate and ultimately achieve their status as the champions for our women, youth, and Muslim brothers and sisters.

2. We will also push forward the campaign for the shift to Federalism.

Following the DILG’s designation as lead agency of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Federalism and Constitutional Reform under Memorandum Circular No. 52, let us gather all national government agencies and reach out to as many sectors possible and make them part of creating a people-focused, reform-oriented federal constitution.

3. Likewise, we shall safeguard the successful conduct of elections and step up our advocacy against corrupt and crime/drug-linked candidates in the Mid-term polls.

Just like in the 2018 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections, let us help in enlightening the people on which candidates, both at the national and local levels, are Matino, Mahusay at Maaasahan, and therefore worthy of their votes.

I call on the PNP to work with the citizenry and the various agencies of the government to ensure the conduct of honest, orderly and

peaceful elections, especially in identified election hotspots.

Most importantly, we will deepen the drive for good local governance

1. We must speed up project implementation.

The DILG shall continue finding ways to improve its LGU supervision function. By all means, let us continue with our developmental and recognition-based approach to supervision like the Seal of Good Local Governance.

But we need to be tougher and uncompromising on local officials who do not do their job or worse, which are part of the problems that we try to solve.

For 2019, I call on the local government sector to ensure 100% completion of our various programs and projects like water facilities, roads, bridges and disaster-related facilities, by end of November.

2. That is why we need to continuously professionalize our DILG officials and personnel.

With the high expectations of the people and the President from our Department, we need a thoroughly competent and professional corps of officials and personnel to carry out the tasks in front of us.

I call on PPSC President De Leon and LGA Executive Director Vecina to further the trainings and capability enhancement of our own people.

Such trainings should be those that are actually needed by our people, promote good values, and continually develop their character.

Also, there will be no let-up in our Anti-Corruption Campaign as this is key to a clean, effective, and honest governance, as well as to

peaceful and safe communities and country.

Our anti-corruption efforts will be scaled up and we will go even harder after personnel and local government officials who continue to engage in corrupt practices and activities.

Panagutin natin ang nagkasala sa batas. Tanggalin at parusahan ang mga tiwaling kawani at mga opisyal dahil hindi sila nararapat na manatili sa hanay ng mga lingkod-bayan!

Internal reforms within the DILG and its attached agencies will be stepped-up, with NAPOLCOM Vice-Chair Casurao, PNP Chief Albayalde, BJMP Chief Tapayan, and BFP Chief Bañago joining hands to ensure the reforms are carried out without fear or favor. Summing up, as we embark on our journey towards the adventures of 2019, I count on each of you to be my partners in leading our Department.

We must continue to work as a team, composed of many individuals and parts, all working in perfect unison and harmony to become the bastion of excellence. This will all start with ourselves. Let us be the role models of our DILG personnel and our local government leaders in providing the best public service to our constituents.In closing

Ladies and gentlemen, many, if not all of these may seem difficult to accomplish. Nevertheless, I always believed that the DILG family can perform and deliver even beyond expectations.

Always bear in mind that the DILG is one family - we need one another in order to succeed.

Let us therefore continue to work together as agents of change, and without a doubt what we have envisioned today will become another long list of accomplishments for tomorrow.

Maraming salamat!

NFSTI: Keeping Abreast of Emerging Trends in Forensic Science Investigation

The National Forensic Science Training Institute (NFSTI) conducted a Lecture/Seminar entitled “The Emerging Trends in Forensic Science Investigation: DNA Analysis” last January 24, 2019 with Mr. Jervis Chow as resource speaker.

Primarily, the objective of the seminar is to strengthen the competency of Crime Investigation and Detection Course (CRIDEC) students and instructors through technological knowledge in the field of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) science. The seminar acquainted the participants in the latest procedures used by different countries in DNA Analysis. It also provided the participants insights on how technology serves as a significant tool in solving crimes. Subsequently, there was an increase in the appreciation of participants in collecting and handling evidence from the crime scene.

Mr. Chow further discussed the basic introduction and workflow of Short Tandem Repeats (STR) analysis, age estimation of an individual via pyrosequencing, tissue typing via pyrosequencing, utility of X-STR for an identification case work, DNA database and workflow, trend in direct amplification and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). The

most interesting part of the seminar is the discussion on the future of forensic science in the field of DNA Analysis.

Further, the resource speaker lectured on the basics of molecular biology. He discussed the component of cells and how it is vital in DNA Analysis. He highlighted the term Short Tandem Repeats (STR) which is a pattern that identifies the true identity of the person. Pictures and diagrams were shown to simplify the explanation of DNA.

Mr. Chow also showed how DNA or samples are processed in the laboratory. Process flows are presented for better understanding. Samples that were processed in the DNA Lab are bone, semen, hair, nail, touch DNA, saliva swab, blood spot, chewing gum, body fluids stain, teeth and cigarette butts. The aforementioned samples are among the important pieces of evidence for DNA Analysis. The resource speaker put emphasis on how the integrity of evidence remain high by way of preventing contamination (mask, glove, disposable tools, avoidance moisture), proper DNA evidence storage (cool and dry environment, and avoidance of direct sunlight). He mentioned that separation of proteins and other cellular materials is one

of the underlying principle of DNA extraction.

He also comprehensively shared his expertise in interpreting results. A series of illustrations and colorful charts were presented so that the participants can understand at least the very basic of interpreting results. Though DNA Analysis is a very technical field of forensic science, Mr. Chow made the presentation simple and understandable. The five spices of forensic DNA laboratory were also tackled.

In the last part of the discussion, the resource person presented the future and emerging trends in the DNA Analysis. These emerging trends in the field of DNA Analysis will further strength the capability of law enforcement agencies with the identification of suspect and eventually in bringing justice to the victim.

A total of 130 participants attended the lecture/seminar which includes CRIDEC students, faculty, staff, and representatives from the National Police Training Institute (NPTI), National Jail Management and Penology Training Institute (NJMPTI), and PNP Crime Laboratory.

“It is not the beauty of a building you should look at, it’s the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time,” is a quote from the American singer David Allan Coe in which the officers and personnel can relate to with the new facility of the Institute Training Group (ITG). The official inaugural blessing and opening ceremony of the new ITG Academic Building took place on February 13, 2019, marking the beginning of a new chapter in ITG history.

PPSC President, PDDG Ricardo F De Leon (Ret.), Ph.D.; PPSC Vice President for Administration, PCSupt Ferdinando G Sevilla (Ret.); Director of the National Police Training Institute (NPTI) PCSupt Ramon L Rafael; ITG Training Director, PSupt Pergentino N Malabed Jr; the architect who contributed to the building’s design, Architect Diane V. Danao; and V.B. Columna Construction Corporation Project Manager, Engr. Emmanuel Salamat were among the notable attendees.

The ceremony began with a special mass held inside the new building held by Chaplain, FCInsp Jecker L Luego followed by the blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new building led by PPSC President, Vice President, and NPTI Director along with the ITG Training Director. The traditional throwing of coins which was meant to bring good luck and fortune was also held after.

In his message during the event, PDDG De Leon shared that PSupt Malabed told him that since the Regional Training Centers (RTCs) are blessed with new structures, in return, the training staff and students should develop and practice their Malasakit. Malasakit is to show appreciation by maintaining the beauty and functionality of every building.

PDDG De Leon added that in his four years of being the PPSC President, he was doing something that is important to him. The PPSC has a crucial role in preparing future officers of the police force, training

D is for doing random acts of goodness, I is for integrity, G is to give more dedication to your work, O is to open our hearts to everyone, N is to nurture our experiences, and G is to give a better future especially to the children around us.

He ended his message by emphasizing a very important lesson that he learned while doing his job – to see the value of each person and to be humble. He also added the value of showing respect to your workers and in return, they will give you what you expect of them. A simple boodle fight was held afterwards.

With this development, the new ITG Academic Building and the people working under its roof will surely stand for ITG’s “Integridad, Talino at Galing.”

On the foot of Mt. Arayat lies a vast land. Over the years, this land was cultivated and developed until it progressed and became what it is at the present time, the home of the PPSC’s “Best Regional Training Center” for 2018.

Over the years, RTC 3 reflects many of its priorities and values through its improvements. Committed to advancing and sharing knowledge, Team RTC 3 came up with the idea of actively developing solutions to save the environment in response to the challenge posed by PPSC President, PDDG Ricardo F De Leon (Ret.), Ph.D.

Team RTC 3 with the supervision of its Regional Training Director, PSupt Marlon V Rufo believes that it is a moral obligation to contribute in this cause. Thus, improvements were made by installing environment-friendly facilities such as solar-powered street lamps and a windmill water pump.

The solar-powered street lamps were installed around the

RTC 3 Innovations: Taking Concrete Steps in Mitigating Global Warming

roadways of RTC 3. Using solar energy has a lot of eco-friendly advantages. The lights of these street lamps are dependent of the heat energy given off by the sun, storing as much of it throughout the day. It is a clean and sustainable way to generate electricity. Also, these installed solar-powered street lamps require lesser maintenance than conventional street lamps.

The construction of the windmill water pump is another flagship project. This is an alternative power source and serves as a pumping system for the Center’s water supply. In comparison with the figures on the past years, the monthly electric consumption lessened ranging at approximately 15 to 25 percent, or an estimated amount of PhP24,000 to PhP40,000 as savings per month translated into a total amount of up to PhP288,000 to PhP480,000 per year. Also, the use of windmill water pump provides an assurance of continuous water supply especially during summer and a solution to the perennial problem of

maintaining facilities particularly the comfort rooms.

Evidently, RTC 3 has improved over the years. With the welfare of the students and environmental awareness as the main driving force, these two facilities proved that RTC 3 has a culture of innovation and shows accountability in the effective use of technology along with its concern for the environment.

Ideally, RTC 3, as a would-be world class training center, plans to expand the current eco-friendly facilities in line with the advocacy of PPSC President on the promotion of renewable energy to mitigate global warming. Through the cooperation among workforces, it is easier to get involved – protect and preserve the natural world and instill a sense of optimism for the future.

In conclusion, team RTC 3 take its part in sustaining the advancement of environmental awareness among its personnel regardless of job roles, experience, and expertise.

The Public Safety Officers Senior Executive Course (PSOSEC) were able to undertake their Foreign Academic Study (FASt) in two different locations this year with one batch going to South Korea and another at the United States.

Through FASt, the student officers’ skills were strengthened by exposing them to various global models and practices so that they may adapt these methods in their respective agencies.

Here are two accounts from those who participated in the study.

As today’s issues in law enforcement are global in nature and have no boundaries, it is important therefore, that law enforcement leaders shall engage with their law enforcement counterparts in other countries through information exchange, networking and other forms of confidence building initiatives.

A group of 13 student officers undergoing the Public Safety Officers Senior Executive Course (PSOSEC) at the National Police College (NPC) Camp Crame Satellite Campus visited South Korea from January 16 to 25, 2019 as part of their foreign academic travel to promote continuing education, training, research, and professional development opportunities in law enforcement disciplines which will

promote improved international law enforcement cooperation, services, and standards of professional conduct.

With the assistance from the Embassy of South Korea to the Philippines, the student officers visited the Korean National Police University (KNPU), Korean Police Investigation Academy (KPIA), and Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency (SMPA) Headquarters. It was indeed a very exciting experience for the student officers as they were welcomed by the world class infrastructure of the Seoul City, the Incheon International Airport interconnected with train stations that served as the gateway to the city.

The official visit began on January 20, 2019 as the student officers traveled three hours from Seoul to Asan-si where the KNPU and KPIA were located. KPIA has a multi-level student dormitory, laundry room, cafeteria, indoor gym facility, lecture rooms, and forensic science classrooms. The student officers were billeted at the KPIA dormitory for the duration of their stay at Asan-si.

On January 21, 2019, the student officers led by Police Superintendent Felipe B. Maraggun as the head of delegation were transported to the KNPU and was welcomed by its Director of Planning and Cooperation Division, Police Senior Superintendent Inkyu Choi. Activities include a briefing of KNPU’s facilities, mission, programs, and

activities as a major training institution for future police officers of Korea. An introduction on the cybercrime investigation was facilitated by the International Cybercrime Research Center of the KNPU. Topics presented includes the cyber investigation techniques, programs, and international cooperation with allied police agencies. A tour of KNPU facilities especially at the firearms training simulation capped the event where the student officers tested their advanced live fire interactive lanes, computerized interactive systems engaging in a multitude of virtual scenarios.

On January 22, 2019, KPIA arranged a one-day lecture demonstration of their forensic firearms examination, fingerprint identification laboratory, forensic anthropology, and virtual crime scene laboratory. KPIA offers an ideal training institution for future police investigators due to its advanced research program in the field of forensic science and criminal investigation. In the afternoon, the Director of KPIA warmly welcomed the student officers at the Conference Room. PSupt Maraggun, in his message expressed his gratitude to the KPIA officers and staff for a well-organized training session and distributed PNP tokens and mementos to the KPIA officers and staff.

overview of SMPA’s 112 Emergency Dispatching and Operations Command Center was presented to the student officers. Its state of the art facility caters receiving and ordering of 112 reports, quick understanding, transmission, and control of security situations, and maintaining records and analyzing statistics of 112 reports and situation.

The Comprehensive Traffic Information Center (CTIC) being handled by the SMPAs Traffic Police was also demonstrated during the visit. The facility utilizes cutting edge digital systems for a safe and smooth traffic environment in Seoul. It also plays an important role in managing traffic during VIP trips, large-scale events, and natural disasters and related emergencies. It also caters children’s traffic safety education to instill safe walking habits and law and order.

The interaction of the PPSC student officer with the men and women of the Korean National Police Agency manifested the good relationship of the Philippine and South Korea. This can be attributed to historical ties that bind the two countries and the strong cooperation in terms of political, economical, social-cultural, technological, environmental, and legal factors especially in the fight against terrorism and transnational crimes.

There is so much to learn from the examples of the South Korean police but this was reciprocated by the humility, diplomacy, and professionalism showed by the Philippine delegation which speaks of the successful conduct of the foreign academic travel. Indeed, partnership, networking, and police to police cooperation are the best strategy in strengthening the rule of law around the globe.

The members of the delegation include the author as the Head of Delegation, PSupt Dawani Mae Joaquin, PSupt Romeo Joaquin,

PSupt Alvin Alcantara, PSupt Ariel Red, PSupt Juritz Rara, PSupt Jonas Escarcha, PSupt Michael John Mangahis, PSupt Dinah Colminero, PSupt Abraham Abayari, PSupt Raquel Lingayo, PSupt Santiago Pascual, and PSupt Lawrence Reloj.

A number of student officers, undergoing Public Safety Officers Senior Executive Course (PSOSEC) Class 2018-04 at the NPC Camp Crame Satellite Campus embarked on a Foreign Academic Study and Research in the so called “Land of Milk and Honey” – the United States of America, last January 15 to 31, 2019. The purpose was to promote continuing education, training research and professional development opportunities grounded in law enforcement disciplines. The academic tour was made possible through the abled partnership between the PPSC and the Liaison Officer of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the Philippines. The tour serendipitously coincided with the US ‘shutdown’. Despite the shutdown, the tour pushed through with the FBI contact persons arranging important learning activities.

On January 23, 2019, together with Learning Manager, Professor Bonifacio G. Train Jr., the delegates visited the facilities of Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in Washington, DC. The MPD was founded in 1861 and considered to be one of the ten largest local police agencies in the United States and the primary law enforcement agency for the District of Columbia. The department was manned by over 3,800 sworn and 660 civilian members serving Washington DC. While in MPD, the class was ushered inside the Joint Strategic and Tactical Analysis Command Center; there, Assistant Chief of Police Wilfredo Manlapaz, who happens to be a second generation Filipino-American, introduced the organizational

structure of MPD and the functions of the different units under it. The structure is quite similar to the law enforcement setting in the Philippines.

Three more discussants shared important information based on “If you see something, say something” adage. MPD boasts of 24/7 data collection processes which are channeled through their state of the art Data-Driven Policing and Real-time Crime Center. The lectures also exposed us to the different activities of the federal state, and learned the joint strategic and tactical partnership for safety and security of residents and visitors of the District of Columbia.

After the visit at MPD, the class had the chance of experiencing the beating of the very heart of the United States of America – Washington, DC.

On the following day, January 24th, the class visited the Philippine Embassy and were warmly welcomed by PCSupt Jong Ramos, the Police Attaché to the United States. He expressed his gratitude to the class for paying courtesy visit to the embassy. During this visit, FBI Agent Jason Gustin, the Supervisory Special Agent Nuclear/Radiological Countermeasures Unit of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate, gave a lecture on the Overview of the FBI Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Agent Gustin’s lecture emphasized the investigation process in the occurrence of WMD as well as the Incident Threat Spectrum and the capabilities of WMD Incident Response. The best practices shared by him can also be implemented and adopted somehow in our own nation.

To sum it up, the foreign academic travel of PSOSEC Class 2018-04 became very productive and exciting as it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become personally acquainted with counterparts in the MPD and the FBI. The conversations that transpired and ideas shared gave the student officers a better understanding and appreciation of law enforcement in their respective countries.
