DILG-DDB JOINT MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 001-18

 

I. BACKGROUND

The use of illegal drugs is a serious threat to our health, well-being, and national security. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has acknowledged its proliferation as a primary hindrance to the development of the community. It is imperative that the Department of the Interior and Local Government and the Dangerous Drugs Board accelerate and cascade the campaign against illegal drugs.

Local Anti-Drug Abuse Councils ("ADACs") have a critical role in the coordination and proper monitoring of drug-related incidents. This entails cohesion of policies for the inter-local government roles which can provide an enabling environment for functional and effective ADACs. This further requires structural consistency and a comprehensive monitoring and reporting system.
