Posted to the MILF Website (Jul 20): GPH-MILF CCCH and AHJAG sign Agreement of Cooperation and Coordination in the Campaign against Illegal Drugs



The Government of the Philippines Coordinating Committee on Cessation of Hostilities and Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (GPH-CCCH and AHJAG) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front Coordinating Committee on Cessation of Hostilities and Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (MILF CCCH and AHJAG) signed Agreement of Cooperation and Coordination in the Campaign against Illegal Drugs in MILF controlled areas on July 12, 2016 at Hotel Elena, Davao City.

The two parties agreed on the following provisions:
 
1. In the conduct of anti-illegal drug operations, all existing protocols under RA 9165 and all relevant agreements signed between the GPH and the MILF shall apply. The PDEA and the anti-drug units of the AFP, PNP, NBI, BOC and BID shall coordinate with the AHJAG and CCCH.
 
2. Information exchange/sharing , which includes, but not limited to the submission of the MILF of a list of drug personalities identified in its area subject to validation of the law enforcement agencies.
 
3. The MILF can conduct information drive on the ill-effects of illegal drugs in the MILF affected areas as part of its demand reduction activities. Such information drive may be conducted in coordination with the barangay, municipal, city or provincial anti-drug abuse councils.
 
4. Information including matters recommended by MILF counterparts in support to the campaign against illegal drugs shall be relayed to the PDEA and the anti-drug units of the AFP, PNP, NBI, BOC and BID through the GPH-AHJAG and GPH-CCCH.

Other forms of cooperation are encouraged.

Those who signed for the GPH were BGEN Arnel B De La Vega AFP, Chairman, GPH AHJAG and BGEN Glenn G. Macasero AFP, Chairman, GPH CCCH. 
Atty. Abdul M. Dataya, Chairman, MILF AHJAG and Mr. Butch P. Malang, Chairman, MILF CCCH signed for the MILF.

About a year ago, the MILF had already embarked on its war on drugs especially Shabu (methamphetamine) and had identified hundreds to thousands of drug pushers especially in Central Mindanao.

The MILF war on drugs with a campaign slogan “Shabu is Haram and the Roots of all Evils” saved so many users or addicts from further destruction. The MILF has not only achieved some successes but also earned praises from many sectors including Christian leaders in nearby provinces.
