Abstract

The pervasive impact of the Philippine government’s anti-drug campaign has placed significant emotional, social, and moral burdens on families. However, the voices of parents—who often carry the weight of stigma, fear, and uncertainty—remain largely unheard. In the Philippines, the growing problem of illegal drug use has deeply affected not only those directly involved but also their families—particularly parents—whose struggles often go unnoticed. Responding to this gap, this study explored the outcry of parents of drug surrenderers. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 parents in Laak, Davao de Oro, to capture their lived experiences. Thematic analysis revealed three major experiences: emotional turmoil, strength in adversity, and doing what is right. Coping mechanisms included remaining strong and discerning, providing unwavering love and support, and maintaining faith and trust in the Almighty—strategies that enabled them to endure the challenges of substance abuse within the family. Insights shared by participants emphasized perseverance, open communication, and hope in God. These findings highlight the resilience and determination of parents facing the repercussions of drug involvement in their families, underscoring the need for empathetic, culturally sensitive interventions. Recommendations include community-based support programs, peer groups, and educational initiatives to empower parents and strengthen their coping abilities.

Abstract

Female patrol officers play a crucial role in modern law enforcement, offering unique strengths and perspectives. This study examined the empowerment, resilience, and well-being of female patrol officers and how these factors influence job satisfaction, performance, and safety. Using a qualitative multiple case study design, the research explored the lived experiences of three female patrol officers in Davao del Norte, selected through purposive sampling to represent varying years of service. In-depth, individually conducted interviews were used to gather narrative data, and transcripts were subjected to content and thematic analyses to identify patterns across cases. Findings revealed that ongoing training, skill development, and inclusive decision-making enhance female officers’ effectiveness and support their capacity to manage risks and adapt to complex situations. Participants emphasized strengths such as lower aggression, ethical behavior, empathy, communication skills, and strong community engagement, all of which contribute to improved police–community relations. Results also highlighted the importance of organizational support, leadership opportunities, and inclusive workplace culture in strengthening empowerment and professional growth. The study concludes that investing in the development of female patrol officers fosters a more balanced, capable, and community-responsive police force.
