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 PNP’s operational plans. It is my hope that this handout
becomes an integral part of every policeman and his police
station’s “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. CPNP’S 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 country’s’ 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 Concept

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 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.

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.


This 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 PNP”s 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 government’s three-pronged strategy in
addressing the country’s insurgency problem.

In line with the government’s three-pronged strategy in
addressing the insurgency problem, the PNP and the AFP have expanded their
roles and actively participated in the civil government’s 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 government’s 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.

II COUNTER - INSURGENCY STRATEGY

A. C, PNP’s 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
government’s 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 AFP’s 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 fronts

Influenced Infiltrated Threatened

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.

g. The PNP through the PROs, PPOs/CPOs and MPS
shall undertake the following specific activities during the Clearing and
Holding Phases of the operational Methodology:

1) Operations – This shall focus on the
following:
1.1) Conduct of population and resource
control/denial measures depending upon the prevailing situation and legal
consideration, such as but not limited to the establishment of checkpoints, and

cleared by the AFP forces to protect the community from possible enemy
depredations and terroristic activities, with the support of CAFGUs, CVOs, and
the local government units upon request of, or in coordination with local AFP.

1.8) Operationalization of the Integrated
Area /Community Public Safety Plan (IA/SPSP) through close coordination with
the Local Government Units, Local Peace and Order Councils, Law Enforcement
and Disaster Coordinating Councils, in order that it shall appropriate serve as
the unified and integrated direction of the local public safety programs and
create an active shield against the problems associated with internal security.

1.9) Strengthen the various programs for
public safety and internal security

2) Intelligence Operations:

This shall focus on the following:

2.1) Conduct intensive and sustained
intelligence gathering to identify threat groups and monitor their movements,
plans/activities etc.

2.2) Conduct of special projects and case
operations to neutralize or negate insurgent leadership, logistics fund support,
plans and terroristic activities, safe houses and other support facilities.

2.3) Intensify counter intelligence operations to
detect and neutralize enemy infiltration, sabotage and subversion, in
coordination with the intelligence units of the AFP and other law enforcement
agencies.
2.4) Enhance the mobilization and utilization of
the Barangay Information Nets (BINs)

3) Police Community Relations

This shall focus on the following:

3.1) Conduct public information campaign that
would reduce the influence of the insurgent on the populace through the tri-
media.
3.2) Implement measures to gain, preserve and
strengthen civilian support for the programs of the government in counter-
insurgency.

3.3) Support the comprehensive, integrated
and holistic peace process of the Government pursuant to Executive Order No. 3
issued by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on February 28, 2001 (See Annex
-- )

3.4) Maintain a databank of issues against the
insurgents and develop positive issues for the PNP and AFP for media
exploitation.

3.5) Conduct civic action, information drives,
dialogues, livelihood projects, civil assistance and development, and other allied
PCR activities designed to win back the enemy mass base.

4) Legal Offensive Activities:

This shall involve the following:

4.1) Provide efficient and well-coordinated
investigation documentation and prosecution of all ISO related cases, in
coordination with the DND/AFP, DOJ and the Commission on Human Rights.

4.2) Sustain the filing of ISO related cases and
follow-up the prosecution of cases in court against the insurgents.

h. In the Consolidation and Development Phases, the
activities are as follows:

1) Assist the Local Government Units (LGUs) and
concerned civil government agencies in the strengthening and consolidating
control and authority over targeted barangays/areas pursuant to the strategic
concept laid down in the NPDP.

2) Provide/extend appropriate security coverage to
civil government agencies, local government units NGAs, NGOs and GO’s in the
delivery of basic services and development projects to the community during
the consolidation and development phases.

3) Participate in, and support the Local Chief
Executives (LCEs) in the selection process of the Civilian Volunteer
Organizations (Bantay Bayan/Kababayan).

4) Intensify intelligence gathering:

5) Ensure that the Integrated Area/Community
Public Safety Plan (IA/CPSP) is fully operationalize in coordination with the
local government units.

i. Counter-organization effort against insurgents/
secessionists above ground organizations.

Counter - organization such as the CVOs/Bantay
Bayan/Kababayan and CAFGUs are organized in barangays that have been
de-influenced or cleared from enemy control.

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;
4) Assist in providing safety and security services
in cases of emergency;
5) Support and assist in the identification and
implementation of community development projects; and

6) Perform other related tasks.

k. Conduct of regular meetings of Coordinating Councils
to plan, monitor, supervise and revitalize ISO government efforts

Government fora such as the peace and order
councils, development councils and the disaster coordinating centers and
area coordinating centers are excellent venues or facilities through which
various government programs are discussed and facilitated.

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 110

The 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. (See

SANGYAMAN
(PNP’s MASTERPLAN TO HELP PROTECT AND PRESERVE
OUR ENVIRONMENT, CULTURAL PROPERTIES AND NATURAL
RESOURCES)

I. INTRODUCTION


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).

II. DEFINITION OF TERMS

(See Annex “A”)

III. CPNP’s INTENT

It is the C,PNP’s intent for the PNP through its National Support Units
(NSUs), Police Regional Offices (PROs), Police Provincial Offices (PPOs), City
and Police Stations to assist concerned government agencies in protecting
and conserving the country’s natural and man-made resources, including its
cultural sites and heritage.

Coordination may be undertaken with non-government organizations
to further improve the current status of the nation’s wildlife and other
