campaign against illegal drugs by formulating a plan of action that responds to the needs of their localities.
It is imperative that our local government units work with us and draft their respective plan of actions in the barangays,” said DILG secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. The local and barangay plan of action initiative is anchored on Republic Act No. 9165 or the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 which embodies the national government’s commitment to eradicate the country’s illegal drugs problem.
In another development, PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr. said they “never ceased to keep track of this case since the early stages of the investigation until its successful prosecution. “We respect the decision of the Regional Trial Court, Caloocan City finding the accused Jefrey Perez guilty of the charges filed against him for the deaths of Carl Angelo Arnaiz and Reynaldo De Guzman in August 2017,” Azurin said in a statement.
However, Azurin said a zero casualty in police operation is not always possible, as they are also prioritizing the safety of their personnel which includes the need to defend themselves “when attacked or the lives of innocent civilians are on the line”.“We are keen on observing different approaches on our anti-crime campaign to minimize, if not avoid, armed confrontations in our police operations,” he noted.
In a decision handed down last Nov. 10, Judge Rodrigo Pascua Jr. of the Caloocan City Regional Trial Court Branch 122 found Perez guilty of violation of Sections 4 and 14 of Republic Act 9745 or the Anti-Torture Act of 2009 for torturing Arnaiz and De Guzman. Perez was sentenced to reclusion perpetual or up to 40 years jail time.The court ordered him to pay P1 million in moral damages and another P1 million in exemplary damages, or a total of P2 million for each of the two victims’ heirs.
