MESSAGE

For the past few years, the Philippine National Police has relied on numerous operational plans for various kinds of police activities and to counter different types of crimes. Thus, this decision to compile and summarize our operational plans into this Compendium of six Operational Master Plans is a welcome move, as it would help provide a concise and complete reading facility to our police officers.

I, therefore, encourage everyone, especially our police officers in the field to read this Compendium. Ignorance of it does not only excuse anyone, it also creates many dangerous things not only to oneself but also to the entire Philippine National Police.

MABUHAY tayong lahat!

MESSAGE

Every navigator knows how hard it is to find an island in the middle of the open sea without certain tools like a map or a compass. But with the aid of such tools success becomes a given. The Compendium of six Operational Master Plans was published precisely to achieve such success in the field of law enforcement. This is one of the tools of the trade necessary for a police officer to accomplish his duties with a high level of efficiency and proficiency.

This publication launched under my humble watch as Director for Operations provides a concise but complete version of the PNPs operational plans. It is my hope that this handout becomes an integral part of every policeman and his police stations survival kit.

MABUHAY and God bless all of you!

DIRECTORATE FOR OPERATIONS

MISSION

To assist the Chief, PNP in the exercise of command, control, direction, coordination and supervision of all the activities concerning operations, employment and deployment of the PNP.

FUNCTIONS

1. Plans, directs, controls, coordinates ands supervises PNP operations and integrates support activities;

2. Assesses, evaluates and prepares mobilization, demobilization, assignment and/or location employment/deployment of units in coordination with other directorial Staffs;

3. Prepares, coordinates and issues operational plan, orders and directives in accordance with Chief, PNP's policies and guidelines;

4. Maintains active liaisoning with the other Operating Units of the military and other law enforcement agencies;

5. Maintains close supervision, direction, control and coordination of operational activities of all operating units and regional offices of the PNP; and

6. Performs such other duties as higher authorities may direct.LAW ENFORCER

"Law enforcer" is one whose prime responsibility is to enforce the law and whose constitutional duty is to preserve peace, to defend and protect the people.

There are several law enforcement officers appointed and designated by operation of law. Police officer is just one of them. Thus, there is indeed a clear delineation of duties and responsibilities, and definition of jurisdiction in the application of their respective law enforcing authority.

As distinguished from other law enforcers, a police officer is a general law enforcer who executes and enforces all existing general, local, special and penal laws other than those specifically and exclusively assigned to other law enforcement agencies of the government.

HOW TO ENFORCE THE LAW:

A law enforcer is presumed to know the law he has sworn to enforce, One must not be allowed to exercise and perform the delicate duty as a law enforcer unless he knows how to enforce and execute the law, including its boundaries and limitations otherwise, abuses, anarchy and lawlessness shall prevail.

Law enforcers must:

1.Know the ability to learn how they are interpreted by the courts;2. Have the ability to learn how they are interpreted by the courts;

3. Know how to properly execute and enforce such laws;

4. Know how and when to properly effect the arrest of offenders;

5.Have the technical and legal know-how to protect and defend the innocent from harassment, and prosecute offenders who are probably guilty of a felony or a crime.Unless the foregoing mandatory requirements are accomplished satisfactorily, a new graduate from the police academy and other law enforcement training centers must not be allowed to join or be appointed as a regular member of the Philippine National Police or any law enforcement agency of the government. To do otherwise is by itself a deliberate violation of the constitution, a disservice to the people, and at their useless and unjustifiable expense and prejudice.

CARDINAL RULES

RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS

(Sec 11, Art 11, 1987 Philippine Constitution)

HUMAN RIGHTS ARE THE GOD GIVEN RIGHTS INHERENT TO THE VERY EXISTENCE OF MAN. The right to wear a piece of cloth to shield himself from shivering cold or melting heat; a right to have a bowl of rice to fill his empty stomach for the day; the right to have a shelter to spend the night; the right of every working man to assure himself and his family a life worthy of human dignity; and, the right to live with honor, dignity and respect of his fellowmen living in a just and humane society under the blessing of democracy

Entrusted with the constitutional mandate to serve and protect the people, law enforcers should be the very first protectorate of human rights. Failing that task, there is no Aristotelian reason for them to navigate the legal complexity and technical intricacy in the enforcement of laws. Without recognizing and respecting the sanctity of human rights as enshrined in the Constitution, they can never induce public respect or command obedience to existing laws. THEY CAN NEVER EFFECTIVELY ENFORCE THE LAW BY VIOLATING HUMAN RIGHTS!

SANDIGAN

(ANTI-CRIMINALITY MASTERPLAN)

I.INTRODUCTION

A.PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This Plan shall serve as the Master Plan in which all plans and programs of the PNP shall conform with and supplement.

It shall prescribe the grand strategy to be undertaken by PNP Offices and personnel on crime prevention, control and suppression, in the total fight against all forces of criminality.

B.SITUATION

The campaign against crime is a continuing concern. It is a war that the police can not win alone, and can not in any real sense fight alone. Police can not change the root drivers of crime such as poverty, unemployment, poor housing, moral education, freedom, civil liberties, ambitions, dysfunctional families and other ills of socio-economic opportunities. Thus, all aspects of police work should be premised upon active community consent, trust and participation.

In so doing, developing effective crime prevention, control and suppression strategies has presented the PNP with a fundamental dilemma. On one hand, crime will always be committed and, indeed, a continuing mandate. From this perspective, the police is viewed solely as a professional crime buster and often criticized if public expectations are not met. On the other hand, the community needs to believe that the police is or can become effective crime buster.

Thus, the PNP has been compelled to rethink and redesign its entire approach to this main task through clearer prioritization of targets with emphasis on prevention, control and suppression of crime and more resources moved into proactive policing.

C.ASSUMPTION

The primary concern of the PNP for the next five years is curbing criminality.

D.MISSION

The PNP shall implement a responsive and holistic anti-crime strategy to effective prevent, control and suppress the occurrences of crimes to insure safety in our community.

E.OBJECTIVES

1.To reduce index crime rate

2.To improve response time

3.To improve crime solution efficiency

4.To increase conviction rate

5.To operationalize COPS through the Police Community Precincts, for the 24-hour community security coverage.

II.DEFINITION OF TERMS (Please see appendix E)

III.EXECUTION

A.CPNPS INTENT

Let us intensify our campaign against crime. Let us create an atmosphere of peace, in close collaboration with the community, local government units, NGOs and international organizations, dedicating our resources and enhancing our capabilities and skills to address national and transnational threats to peace and order.

The efforts of the Police Regional Offices (PROs), Police Provincial Offices (PPOs)/City Offices and Police Stations shall be to set-up and implement a localized Anti-Crime Campaign Plan based on this plan. On the other hand, the National Support Units shall create their efforts in accounting and neutralizing transnational and syndicated crime groups, and support the PROs in their localized Anti-Crime Campaign.

B.CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

1.Strategic Concept

a.Improve the Police Security Service Package

1)Effective law enforcement and crime prevention and suppression system.

.

Foremost among the means of effective law enforcement is the wise utilization of all PNP available assets on the ground. One tested and tried instrument is the Police Security Containment Ring System (PSCRS), composed of the following five (5) major components, deployment of which depends on their availability and the situation on the ground:

a)The Innermost Containment Ring, which is composed of barangay tanods, CVOs, NGOs, radio groups, fire/disaster/calamity volunteer brigades that provide localized and needed police services to the barangays.

b)The Inner Containment Ring, composed of the foot patrol elements are in uniform for police visibility while the detective patrol component is in civilian attire for police presence. Even if there are no uniformed police around the people will still think that a police eye is watching them because they will see police detectives in civilian causing the arrest of crime perpetrators.

c)The third component is the Middle Containment Ring, which is composed of bicycle or motorcycle-mounted patrols at control points who shall patrol the residential areas and make the transport loading and unloading areas as their standby points. This will prevent mugging of commuters specially during nighttime.

d)The Outer Containment Ring is composed of designated specialized units like the mobile patrols, which shall be deployed at chokepoints. Their task is to prevent the escape of fleeing criminal and react to call for police assistance.

e)The fifth is the Outermost Containment Ring, where the special police units (like the SWAT or anti-terrorist units) and the mobile groups shall serve as security elements at areas designated as strong points, where they can immediately react to call for armed support to beleaguered police personnel on the ground.

2)Adoption by police offices/stations of the Crime and Information Management System, which will systematize the recording, retrieval and analysis of crime data.

Another means of effective law enforcement is the adoption by police offices/stations of Crime and Information Management System. In simple terms, the Regional, Provincial and City, and Municipal Police Offices will indicate in their local maps the place and time a crime incident happened. The resulting inputs will constitute the basis for the deployment or redeployment of police resources to maximize their use for anti crime efforts.

3)Deployment of dedicated Police Intelligence and Investigation Teams for criminal gang/syndicates, terrorists, kidnappers, bank robbers, carnappers and specific crime prone areas.

The deployment of dedicated intelligence, investigation and manhunt teams is another means of organizational effectiveness. Teams for specific activities involving Internal Security/Terrorist Groups, Kidnapping, Robbery, Hijacking and Carnapping are formed in all police units in varying scale depending on the threat analysis and availability of personnel. These teams shall conduct legal offensives against members of syndicated crime groups to force them out of the locality or, better still, to prevent them in the commission of crimes.

4)Aggressive Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign

Illegal Drug is the countrys number 1 enemy. A high percentage of our populace is affected by this menace and majority of the heinous crimes committed is drug- related. It is for this reason that we do not only put to jail drug pushers but also rehabilitate drug users. The supply and demand reduction strategies should be coupled with a heightened drug education campaign.

5) Strengthening of the Programs for Public Safety and Internal Security

The government considers the crimes such as killings; kidnappings, extortion and etc, committed by the insurgent groups as a criminal act not a political act. It is for this reason that crimes committed by them should be investigated and appropriate cases filed so that justice is afforded to the victims.

People who feel that they are not safe in their houses, streets and place of work are predisposed to crime. The police therefore has to lend support.

6)Pursuing the objectives for Gender Awareness Development

This concept will involve the strengthening of Gender and Development thrust of the PNP in collaboration with government organizations, NGOs and women organizations in the country, as great percentage of crimes committed nowadays, involve women and children as victims.

b.Strengthen linkages with NGOs, local and international law enforcement organizations, the AFP, and Presidential Task Force and Centers as venues for interagency and international cooperation and support.

These organizations and agencies are venues for effective law enforcement coordination and support. The maintenance of peace and order is a multi-disciplinary responsibility and the active linkages with these agencies and offices will redound to the efforts to eliminate transnational and national crimes in the country, to include the criminal activities of internal security threat groups and terrorists.

In addition, this linkage would turn very relevant and beneficial during the conduct of special events, like, the holding of honest, orderly and peaceful elections for both national and local officials of the government.

c.Enhance the community participation thru the Community-Oriented Policing System (COPS).

Through COPS, there will be voluntary community support and cooperation with law enforcement/crime prevention and control activities, thus there will be enhanced police effectiveness and efficiency given the same police resources.

d.Operationalize the Integrated Area/ Community Public Safety Plan (IA/CPSP)

In order to insure the success of linking up the contribution of the community, the government and the police in guaranteeing the safety and security of the communities, the existing Integrated Area/Community Public Safety Plan of provincial and municipal government units shall complement this Anti-Crime Strategy. Close coordination with respective Peace and Order Councils (POCs), Law Enforcement Coordinating Committees (LECCs), Regional Development Councils (RDCs), Disaster Coordinating Councils (DCCs), Drug Watch and Streetwatch organizations, shall be maintained.

e.Promote the objectives of an active Criminal Justice System

Being in the frontline in the operationalization of the Criminal Justice System, the police serves as an effective catalyst in promoting the concepts of justice for crime victims and of enhancing attainment of the objectives of the Anti-Crime Strategy.

f.Devise an Effective Feedback Mechanism

The continued feedback from all recipients of public safety services received from the citizens through the Project 117 of the DILG, the Ugnayans conducted by the PNP and other government agencies, and other sources of reports, complaints, needs, or rejoinders, shall be the basis for improving the delivery of police services to the citizenry. This feedback mechanism shall serve as the trigger to set off a series of adjustments and if need be, a realignment of the foregoing strategies to attain the purpose of maintaining a peaceful and prosperous community.

2.Operational ConceptThe NHQ-PNP, through its directorial staff, shall supervise and support the Police Regional Offices in implementing the strategic agenda and operational concept of this anti-crime strategy. The PNP leadership, through the NALECC, the NDCC and the NPOC, shall coordinate and cooperate with other national government agencies in the realization of the mission of this anti-crime strategy.

The Police Regional Offices, through the police provincial/city offices and municipal/city police stations, shall implement their localized anti-crime plans based on this master plan. Their plans shall be focused towards the implementation of localized activities to attain: (1) reduction of crime rate; (2) improvement of response time; (3) improvement of local crime solution efficiency; (4) increase in conviction rate for cases filed in court; and (5) the operationalization of community-oriented policing system (COPS) thru the Police Community Precincts, for the 24-hour community security coverage.

The national support units, through their specialized operating units and various regional offices, shall concentrate their efforts towards supporting all the anti-crime efforts of the PROs, except in the pursuit of specific anti-crime tasks assigned to them.

(THE PNP ISO MASTER PLAN)I.INTRODUCTION

The insurgency problem, whether of the communist or the secessionist type, has social, economic, political and security dimensions. The security part, as manifested by armed guerilla activities, is the most visible sign or symptom of the problem. The security acts only because of the political organization that provides the leadership and the direction. On the other hand, the dissatisfaction and grievances of the people resulting from the socio-economic and political conditions in the area provide the insurgency movement the reason for its being. Thus, insurgency may not be solved by police/military solution alone (although police/military action is vital and an important part), but by a package of government policies and programs that can effectively and simultaneously address the socio-economic, the political and the military aspects of the situation. Accordingly, the whole government machinery and instrumentalities must strongly and coordinately be made to bear on the problem.

A.PURPOSE AND SCOPEThis serves as the long-range and holistic master plan of the PNP in waging an internal security support operations nationwide. Premised on the estimate of the national situation and other considerations, it prescribes the counterinsurgency support strategy, operational concept, scheme of implementation, service support, and coordinating instructions in order to accomplish the PNPs internal security support mission.

All subsequent and supplemental Programs of Action, LOIs, and other related issuances to be prescribed and executed by PNP units and personnel at all levels which would have a bearing on internal security, must therefore conform with the intent/spirit and strategic and operational guidelines embodied herein. This is to ensure the continuity, unity, consistency and synergy of all internal security efforts at all times.

B. DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS (See Annex 1)

C.NATIONAL SITUATION AND CONSIDERATIONS:

1.General

The Government, through the AFP and the PNP, had launched various campaigns and pacification drives in the past decades to resolve the continuing communist insurgency threat. As a result, the communist insurgent movement experienced a downtrend in its party building, army building and alliance work. This downtrend was attributed among others to the vigorous implementation of the series of the PNP's Sandugo COIN campaign plans and the AFP Campaign Plan Lambat-Bitag.

These developments, however, did not lead to the downfall of the Communist Movement. The CPP/NPA, instead, staged a strategic withdrawal to avoid decisive defeat by the government forces. Subsequently, the CPP/NPA launched a rectification campaign to regain control of LCM lost areas and restore its influence in the rural areas. Additionally, the CPP, having experienced a regression in the Yearly sub-stages of the Strategic Defensive Stage focused its activities on ideological, political and organizational (IPO) work to rebuild the party, its army and mass organizations.

During the Philippine Constabulary/Integrated National Police (PC/INP) era, internal and external security were tasks relegated to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The PC/INP then, as one of the four major services of the AFP had played an indispensable role in counter-insurgency until its deactivation in 1991, with the passage of RA 6975, which resulted in the birth of the PNP. RA 6975 further placed the PNP as the lead agency in the maintenance of internal security although it took until 1995, for the PNP to fully assume its primary role in internal security. However, when RA 8551 was passed into law in 1998, internal security was once again given to the aegis of the AFP. Moreover, Executive Order No. 110 issued on June 15, 1999 mandated the PNP to support the AFP in ISO for the suppression of insurgency and other serious threats to national security.

The military and police counter-insurgency campaigns and other complementing efforts by concerned civil government agencies LGUs and NGOS, may be classified into three major operations or activities, namely: (1) Internal Security Operations (ISO) by the AFP and the PNP to provide security to the people and the government; (2) National Development operations by the civil government agencies to address the root causes of insurgency; and (3) Peace Process by the Office of the Presidential Assistant on the Peace Process (OPAPP) to complement the overall government effort to attract rebels back to the mainstream of society, in the spirit of equality, peace, reconciliation and unification. Essentially, these three mutually complementing efforts are the governments three-pronged strategy in addressing the countrys insurgency problem.

In line with the governments three-pronged strategy in addressing the insurgency problem, the PNP and the AFP have expanded their roles and actively participated in the civil governments development activities that strike at the root causes of insurgency. As one recognized weakness of this undertaking is the lack of coordination and unity of efforts among the military/police and civil government agencies, thus the National Peace and Development Plan (NPDP) was formulated.

Amidst these changes in the operational environment, coupled with the recent political events in our country, the PNP has to formulate and adopt a comprehensive plan that would define the general guidelines/concepts of operations and tasks to be observed and followed by all PNP units/offices in supporting the AFP in the suppression of insurgency and other serious threats to national security in conjunction with the NPDP and Executive Order No. 110.

2.Strategic Guidance

a.The National Peace and Development Plan

This Plan sets forth the governments overall plan for addressing insurgency. It recognizes insurgency as a multi-dimensional problem requiring a holistic and collaborative response and involvement of all sectors of government and of the citizenry. It prescribes the Clear Hold Consolidate Develop (CHCD) operational methodology and envisions to launch a concerted, integrated and collaborative campaign to address insurgency and its root causes through the left hand and the right hand responses. The left hand response involves the conduct of political and socio-economic reforms to address the root causes of insurgency and win the hearts and minds of the people, while the right hand response involves the conduct of offensive operations that directly contribute to the decisive defeat of the insurgents and the dismantling of their politico-military infrastructures. These offensive operations include diplomatic, political, intelligence, psychological and military offensive.

b. Strategy of "Total-Approach"

The National Peace and Development Plan has adopted the Strategy of "Total Approach". Its holistic approach to effectively address armed conflicts in the country consists of a security component, a political component and a socio-economic component. The security component directly addresses violent conflicts, the political component seeks to tap the full cooperation of local government units and civil society to promote good governance and local peace initiatives, while the socio-economic component focuses on ways and means to eradicate/alleviate poverty.

c. AFP ISO Campaign Plan BALANGAI:

This is the implementation of the National Peace and Development Plan and consistent with the National Strategy of Total Approach and the Clear Hold Consolidate and Develop Methodology prescribed in the national plan. It envisions the clearing of barangays one after the other by simultaneously and decisively defeating CPP/NPA armed groups, dismantling LCM politico military infrastructures and more importantly Winning the Hearts and Minds of the People. The SOT concept is applied in dismantling the politico military structure of the enemy and employs the TRIAD of intelligence, combat and psychological operations as separate weapons system to decisively defeat its armed groups.

IICOUNTER - INSURGENCY STRATEGY

A.C, PNPs INTENT

I intend to have all the PNP Offices and units consistently and vigorously perform our tasks as mandated by RA 8551 and further provided in EO 110. The Police Regional Police Offices and other tasked PNP Units shall be employed accordingly to help support the AFP neutralize the LCM nationwide. This way, the armed components, the infrastructures, and the political machinery of the CPP/NPA/NDF will be dismantled by the government. I likewise intend to have the organization help Local Government Units (LGUs) re-establish or strengthen government authority and control over insurgency-affected barangays, and have linkages with other security and development agencies and organizations to help attain the aims of the National Peace and Development Plan of the government. In so doing the PNP would be able to effectively implement and succeed in this campaign plan as the PNP will be greatly involved in harnessing all government resources in the fight against insurgency and its root causes. B.OBJECTIVES

1.Broad Objective

The PNP, in strengthening its participation and involvement in the governments peace and development machinery, and concurrent with its statutory functions and mandate through Executive Order 110, shall support the AFP in ISO for the suppression of insurgency and other serious threats to national security and to perform its tasks in the National Peace and Development Plan.

2. Specific Objectives

a. To develop the capability of field units to fully operationalize this ISO support plan for the government and the AFP in particular.

b. To support the AFP in the isolation of the underground infrastructure and front organizations of the insurgents in the towns and cities from the general population

c.To enhance intelligence activities against threat groups

d.To enhance the conduct of legal offensive against the insurgents.

e. To support the governments National Peace and Development Plan to include the Peace and Reconciliation plan.

C.CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS:

1.Strategic Concept

a.The PNP shall basically support the AFPs ISO Campaign Plan Balangai through the conduct of limited internal security operations, sustained law enforcement and PCR activities, intensive information gathering and the conduct of investigation and prosecution of ISO related cases.

b.The PNP campaign plan shall also follow the Clear-Hold-Support operational methodology as herein indicated in support to the integration efforts of the military and other civilian agencies of the government as envisioned in the NPDP and the strategy of Total Approach.

The CLEAR Stage shall involve the conduct of combat, Intelligence and Psychological operations as separate weapons systems to directly lead to the destruction of the insurgent armed groups. The end state of this phase is dismantled LCM politico-military infrastructure in the affected barangays and the decisive defeat of the main enemy armed groups in the targeted guerilla fronts. The PNP will support the AFP who is primarily responsible for the Clear Stage.

The HOLD Stage shall involve the utilization of the territorial defense forces to limit the freedom of action and movement of the CPP/NPA, limit its access to resources and reduce mass base support to the CPP/NPA/NDF. This phase shall have the following end state. Integrated Area/Community Public Safety Plan (IA/CPSP) is organized and established, in order to protect the people, defend communities and secure vital assets and installations. The PNP will be primarily responsible for the Hold Stage in areas which are turned over to the PNP or where there are no AFP units assigned. However, other areas especially in those areas where AFP units are present or where AFP supervises CAFGU then the IA/CPSP is responsible.

The SUPPORT Stage is a work in progress:. It shall involve police support to consolidation and development activities of other agencies of government. The PNP within its capability shall play a supportive role in these activities, including but not limited to the conduct of medical and dental civic action, adult literacy programs and providing security in support and in coordination with AFP to civil government agencies in their delivery of basic services in far-flung and strife-torn area.

The Consolidation Stage aims to strengthen government control and authority in contested barangays and develop the capability of local officials to effectively govern their barangays. This stage has the following end-state;

1)Government authority and control in contested areas reestablished or strengthened,

2) Government services delivered,

3)Counter-organizations further expanded and consolidated, and

4) Mass support for the government is enhanced.

The Development Stage has the following for its end state:

1)Root causes of insurgency effectively addressed, and

2)Political and socio-economic reforms planned at the beginning of the campaign are sustained.

c.The overlapping and interrelated phases of this methodology may be conducted simultaneously or sequentially depending on the prevailing situation in the targeted area. The efforts of the PNP shall focus in supporting the AFP on the Clearing and Holding phases, and within the local unit capability they shall provide appropriate support to local government units and other concerned agencies in the Consolidation and Development Phase.

d.The principle of integration of efforts shall be applied to accomplish an ISO-related mission. This principal thrust requires the PNP, military and the civil government agencies to work cohesively, and to unify efforts to ensure a focused, effective and holistic approach in addressing insurgency. The role of the police aside from supporting the AFP in neutralizing the insurgent politico-military infrastructure is to help create a physically and psychologically secured environment conducive for socio-economic development.

2.Operational Concept

a.The NHQ-PNP, through its directorial staff, shall supervise and support the Police Regional Offices in implementing the strategic agenda and operational concept of this counter-insurgency strategy. The PNP leadership, through the NALEC, the NDCC and the NPOC, shall coordinate and cooperate with other national government agencies in the realization of the intent of this counter-insurgency strategy.

b.The Police Regional Offices, through the police provincial/city offices and municipal/city police stations, RMGs and PMGs shall implement their localized counter-insurgency plans based on this master plan. Their plan shall be focused towards the implementation of localized activities to attain: (1) development of the capabilities of fields units to support the AFP in the resolution of ISO problem; (2) isolation of the underground infrastructure and front organizations of insurgents in towns and cities from the general population; (3) enhancement of intelligence activities against threat group; and (4) enhancement of legal offensive against the insurgents.

c.The Special Action Force is designated as the reserve mobile/strike unit of NHQ, PNP. It shall be deployed/committed to support the police Regional offices as situation warrants and/or upon request.

d.The PNP National Support Units, through their specialized operating units and various regional offices, shall assist/support the local police units in the conduct of ISO related activities in accordance with their mandated mission and functions.

e. Role of PNP and AFP on Enemy Affected Barangays particularly in areas with guerilla frontsInfluencedInfiltratedThreatened

As shown in the above schematic diagram, the AFP takes the primary responsibility in responding to affected areas, particularly in areas with very active and active guerilla fronts. In these areas, the AFP will seek to dismantle/neutralize the insurgent political and armed components by mobile battalions of a tasked unit applying the Special Operations Team (SOT) concept and the TRIAD concept of Intelligence. In built - up areas not affected by insurgency, including cities and urban center, the PNP takes the lead role. It shall continue its normal police functions, such as the enhancement of law enforcement activities, maintenance of peace and order to ensure public safety intensified intelligence, police community relation activities and other related police operations.

f. In areas where the AFP due to its limited resources, cannot physically occupy or adequately secure an area, and where PNP units are present or available, the PNP within its capability shall initially provide security in the area until AFP reinforcements shall have arrived. However, in areas where there is preponderance of AFP forces or where it is declared by MOA/policy that they are the OPR, the PNP shall, through the conduct of limited combat support operations assist the AFP mainly because the police personnel to be committed on this aspect are the same personnel that are performing law enforcement functions.

On the ground, the Regional Directors, PDs and Chiefs of Police are enjoined to enter into memorandum of understanding with their AFP counterparts purposely to delineate and define their respective responsibilities/tasks and command relationship based on their capabilities, limitations and the prevailing threat situation and within the limits of the MOA set by DILG/PNP and DND/AFP.

The CAFGUs and CVOs/Bantay Bayan/Kababayan shall, during the holding phase, augment the PNP for territorial defense in order to free the AFP maneuver forces to go on all offensive. The CVOs shall help mobilize the people to support the government, the police and the military against the insurgents.

Another important element of counter organization is the setting-up of people's organizations and cooperatives in the cleared barangays for various livelihood projects and community - based reforestation (when appropriate). The people's organizations (POs) and Cooperatives can also serve as the nuclei for rural economic development and environmental protection to be orchestrated by concerned government agencies under the baton of the governor or Mayor.

j.Organization of CVOs for ISO Support

The CVO is an overt but unarmed component of the Local Defense Organization. They are directly under the control and supervision of the local chief executives who shall be assisted by the local police and/or military elements in the community.

The PCR elements of PNP units/offices in collaboration with the local officials, recruit volunteers to become members of the CVOs from all sectors of society such as peasants, workers, students, professionals, businessman, religious sectors, out of school youth and others.

The CVOs shall among others perform the following tasks in support of the police and the military in the area:

1)Collect intelligence reports;

2)Conduct ronda and similar neighborhood watch activities;

3)Assist in the dissemination of public information;

Concerned PNP units are therefore directed to actively participate in the activities of these bodies for the attainment of a revitalized internal security support operations to the AFP and the government as a whole.

l.The operationalization of the DILG/PNP and DND/AFP Joint IRR to EO 110The core objective of the Joint IRR is to delineate the roles and responsibilities of the PNP and AFP in the implementation of the provisions of EO 110 in the areas of Operations, Intelligence, Police Community Relations and Investigation of ISO related cases and other related activities. Likewise, it set forth the concept in Internal Security Operations to be conducted jointly by the AFP with the PNP in the support role in order to preserve the internal security of the State against insurgents and other serious threats to national security.

Relatedly, the Clear-Hold-Consolidate-Develop operational methodology shall be applied to carry out the integrated and focused effort of the military, police, the entire government machinery and the NGOs, GOs, POs in addressing insurgency as outlined in the National Peace and Development Plan and the Strategy of Total Approach.

B: Definition of Terms

Armed Conflict-refers to any conflict between government forces and organized groups which involves the actual use of armed force and which disrupts normal social, economic, political and cultural activities in a specific geographical area.

Centers of Gravity - Are the source of strength and balance; that characteristic, capability or locality from wherein the enemy derives its freedom of action, physical strength or the will to fight. It is the hub of all power and movement. Its attack should be the focus of all operations. Centers of gravity can change. A major shift in operational direction, the replacement of a key enemy commander, the fielding of new units or weaponry can significantly shift centers of gravity.

OUR ENVIRONMENT, CULTURAL PROPERTIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES)

I.INTRODUCTION

A.PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This master plan prescribes the guidelines to be followed by tasked PNP Units/Offices in assisting lead government agencies in the enforcement of laws over Philippine territorial waters, lakes, rivers, mountain ranges, forest, to include laws and ordinances that have been set forth to preserve, protect and enhance our environment and natural resources, in close coordination with the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture, National Museum and other tasked government agencies and non-government organizations.

B.SITUATION

The Philippines is one of the countries in the world blessed with significantly rich natural resources. In fact, almost all kinds of minerals, metals, precious stones, animal species, plants, and trees can be found in this very unique archipelago.

However, Filipinos and foreigners alike have exploited these resources, and even worse, to the extent of over exploiting and destroying it. The most affected are our marine, aquatic and forest resources. The continuing degradation of our remaining natural resources has reached critical proportion due to illegal destructive methods for business or personal motives. Further contributing to the deterioration of our environment is the exacerbating pollution emanating from vehicles brought about by the rapid urban growth and industrialization.

The following are the five (5) immediate concerns that should be addressed in order to insure protections of the environment: Forest Protection; Protection of Fisheries; Marine Life, and Aquatic Resources; Ensuring Clean and Safe Land, Air and Water; Preservation of Endangered Species and Other Wild Life; and Protection of Cultural Properties (Annex B Five Immediate Concerns).
