Abstract

This study assessed the impact of Random Drug Testing (RDT) on the internal cleansing efforts of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Police Regional Office (PRO) 12. Using a quantitative research design, structured surveys were conducted with 16 PNP personnel across various ranks, designations, and years of service. The study analyzed RDT results from 2020 to November 2024, showing a low overall positivity rate of 0.03%. Most units demonstrated strong compliance, although Sarangani PFU reported two positive cases, and General Santos City Forensic Unit did not conduct any RDTs, highlighting a need for uniform implementation. Respondents strongly agreed on RDT’s role in identifying substance abuse, ensuring fairness, and promoting a drug-free culture. However, privacy concerns were raised by some participants, indicating varying perceptions about the potential invasion of privacy. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in perceptions based on rank, designation, or length of service, suggesting a consistent view of RDT's effectiveness across groups. An expert forensic chemist affirmed the reliability of the drug testing protocols. This study provided valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of RDT in enhancing internal discipline within the PNP and offered recommendations for policy improvement and uniform implementation across all units.

Abstract

The aimed of this study was to revisit the community and service-oriented policing (CSOP) system for sustainable peace and order. This study used survey methods in conjunction with descriptive study design. Police Stations 6 and 13 in the barangays of Batasan Hills, Commonwealth, and Payatas were used for the locale of the study. The study only looked at the age, gender, marital status, high-est level of schooling, classification, place of assignment for PNP members, and address of barangay officials and residents of the people who answered the survey. In the study of Martinez (2019) provided a survey questionnaire that was used as the research in-strument in this study. They used the mean and Pearson-r Correla-tion to examine the data. Three groups of respondents were asked to rate how well the Community and Service-Oriented Policing (CSOP) System strategies were being put into action. The strategies were evaluated in terms of how well they supported local chief ex-ecutives (LCEs), how well they provided police services, and how well they worked with the community. Out of the 279 people who willingly answered the survey, 267 were found. Some went through Google Forms, while others were given hard copies. The Philippine National Police started to work together with mayors, local chief executives, and the people who live in the area to improve the way they provide police services thus, local chief executives are in full support to the implementation of the community and service-oriented policing system as they are regularly coordinating with the provincial/regional office of the National Police Commission, they are ready to give funds as their support to the implementation of the community and service-oriented policing for the betterment of their constituents in the municipality/city as these were based on the problems that people in the community had pointed out.

Abstract

This study assessed the Gender and Development (GAD) program in Lucena City, with the objective of assessing community awareness, availability of the program, participation, existing policies, and barriers to implementation. A descriptive quantitative research design and purposive sampling were used to gather data from five barangays with the largest populations. Findings were supposed to inform the development of integrated and sustainable GAD initiatives addressing gender-based violence and promoting gender equality effectively. Demographics reflect participatory involvement from the younger generations, who are mostly within the 18-27 age category. Women are very participatory at 78%; hence, there needs to be a participatory balance between men and LGBTQIA+ sectors. 39% were college-educated, but this did not transfer to high levels of awareness as information and outreach were not dispersed. The programs were not made available to all barangays; scheduling, access, and resources were all different and not accessible at the same levels to participate. Yet, staff training, resource allocation, community involvement, and policy implementation still face issues. Recommendations would include diversification in communication strategy, inclusiveness, program inconsistencies, and monitoring and implementation mechanisms. This study, therefore, served to highlight the importance of partnership between local governments, stakeholders, and community people in the enhancement of gender equality and the effectiveness of GBV, leading to safer communities.

Abstract

The research examined the correlation between the level of chal-lenges faced by the PNP-ACG and various demographic factors. Addi-tionally, it examined the specific components of cybercrime offenses, which include offenses against the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of computer data and systems, as well as offenses related to computers, content, and other areas.The findings indicated that the PNP-ACG faced roughly the same level of challenges as other law enforcement groups in the region. In-terestingly, demographic factors such as age, length of service, educa-tional attainment, and training attendance did not significantly affect the level of obstacles faced by the PNP-ACG personnel.Moreover, the study revealed a significant relationship between the number of problems the PNP-ACG had and the types of privacy, honesty, and other crimes that happened during their digital forensic investigations and operations.These findings suggest that the challenges faced by the PNP-ACG are more systemic in nature and not primarily driven by individual or demographic characteristics. The study ends with suggestions for how to improve the PNP-ACG in the region by doing a full organiza-tional assessment, creating a strong digital forensic management sys-tem, running programs to build people's skills, and working together with other groups to deal with the problems that were found.

Abstract

Cyberbullying has emerged as a pressing issue in the digital age, af-fecting individuals across various demographics and social groups. This study examines university stakeholders' awareness and knowledge regarding the nature and forms of cyberbullying. Employ-ing a descriptive-survey research design, data were collected from students, faculty, non-teaching staff, and administrators through a structured questionnaire. The findings indicate that while there is a high level of awareness about cyberbullying and its consequences, gaps remain in understanding specific forms and preventive measures. The study highlights the crucial role of universities in fos-tering a safer digital environment through policy implementation, awareness campaigns, and support mechanisms. It also emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to mitigate the risks of cyberbullying. The study recommends the enhancement of institutional policies, increased training sessions for university members, and the integration of digital literacy programs to promote responsible online behavior.

Abstract

Technology has modernized our lives, but it has also led to the rise of cyber-bullying, a global issue that can lead to psychological distress, traumatic experiences, poor mental health, suicidal thoughts, and even self-harm. Research shows that college students often experience increased stress, depression, anger, and irritability due to cyber-bullying. Laws criminalizing cyber-bullying offenses include cyberstalking, cybersex, identity theft, and online libel. At the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA-Las Piñas Campus, ninety students have reported experiencing cyber-bullying. This study aims to provide valuable information for tailoring cyber-safety prevention programs for college students and to raise awareness about the issue. The findings will help universities develop strategies to minimize or completely eradicate cyber-bullying, and the research will be pioneering in this institution. Thus, the study of cyber-bullying at the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Las Piñas Campus provides a profound understanding of the multifaceted impact of cyber-bullying on students. The findings reveal the deep emotional, psychological, and social scars left by cyber-bullying, as well as the coping mechanisms employed by victims to navigate their lived experiences. Lastly, the study recommended the need for comprehensive intervention strategies and supportive policies within educational institutions. By fostering resilience and creating a safer environment for students, schools can help mitigate the devastating effects of cyber-bullying and promote a culture of respect and empathy.
