Dear Ms. Anit,
Thank you for your request dated Feb. 24, 2025, with tracking number #PDEA -537349270515, made under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
You have requested the highest number of Persons Who Use Drugs (PWUDs) in NCR and Rizal from 2015 to the present, including their demographics (age, gender, location and type of admission)
I am pleased to inform you that your FOI request has been approved. Enclosed, you will find a copy of the information you have requested. However, please note that we are only able to provide some of the information you requested.
Number of PWUDs in NCR and Rizal (as of February 2025) - GLENN MALAPAD - [email protected]
Kindly be informed that the data is limited to the Barangay Drug Clearing Program (BDCP) which was implemented in 2017. That is why the coverage of the provided data is from 2017 to February 2025 without the demographics.
In addition, the said data can only be gathered once a barangay/city/municipality/province applied for or underwent the BDCP process. As part of the process, the barangays have to identify those individuals who were suspected to be involved in illegal drug activities and later submitted to PDEA and PNP for further validation. Once validated, said drug personalities are visited to undergo rehabilitation/reformation programs.
Please take note that the data is NOT the whole representation of all PWUDs in the concerned areas. Some PWUDs chose to undergo private and other rehab programs for which PDEA does not have data, while some PWUDs belong to barangays still to undergo the BDCP.
We look forward to serving you better in the future.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Glenn Malapad
