Everyone agrees that when a family cracks, a
community breaks; when it flourishes, society blooms;
when it disintegrates, humanity dies, when it gains
strength, it effects development.
Hello and thank you very much for taking interest in implementing the Family
Drug Abuse Prevention Programme or FDAPP!
Yes, our experiences in implementing the FDAPP in the cities of Bacolod and
Davao influenced the contents of this guide. Here, we shall tell you what we did and
how we did it, which may provide ways for you to adopt in your own locality.
Before you begin to read through and use this guide, we encourage you to always
keep in mind the most important key word: THE FAMILY. This of course refers to the
basic unit of society, composed of people (who may or may not be biologically related)
living together under one roof. This program is about every individual under those roofs,
assuming and playing different social roles (Father, Mother, and Child) and relationships
(Grand/ Parent-grand/ child, Siblings, Aunt/Uncle, Nephew/Niece). Yes, FDAPP is
about each one of them.
They who build social groups called peers and they who build communities.
Thus, FDAPP in its purest form is a community based program and being so; it is in
every Barangay, Purok, Zone and Street that FDAPP really happens.

About the Guide
We have already mentioned that this guide springs from the FDAPP
implementation experiences in Bacolod and Davao. The initial FDAPP was pilot-tested
in these two cities at the barangay level. The experiences of both cities were reviewed
and the results of ‘writeshops’, were then put together to build what you are reading right
now.
As FDAPP is a program, this guide aims to bring you through every step of the
programme management cycle, namely: a) situation analysis, b) planning, c)
implementation, d) monitoring and evaluation or SAPIME. This way, we figured it
would be easier to help you go through every step of the FDAPP way.
c) Provide tools and instruments that can help you implement your own FDAPP
Part one (1) offers the over-all background of FDAPP, what it is and why we
implement it.
Part two (2) brings you through FDAPP’s programme management cycle; and
Part three (3) contains other useful information for your reference
At the end of every part, you will encounter worksheets for you to accomplish.
These worksheets are designed to make this guide more interactive as well as concretize
your reading experience, and eventually help you implement your own FDAPP.
We hope that you will enjoy using this guide as much as we enjoyed putting them
together for you.

FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions or
What every implementer must know about FDAPP)
5
1. What is FDAPP?
3.1 Create awareness and educate families on the underlying causes of drug
abuse problems and its ill effects;
3.2 Develop capacities of families especially on parenting and life skills
towards the promotion of a drug- free home and community;
3.3 Organize and mobilize families to consolidate efforts in support of the
programme and of families-at-risk;
3.4 Promote and strengthen Filipino family values which uphold the
importance of family ties, unity and growth; and
3.5 Provide support services to families for it to be able to cope with their
needs through linkages and referral with other agencies / organizations.
Aside from the 1987 Constitution (of course!), the Family Code (EO 209)
mandates the State to recognize the family as the foundation of the country and
accordingly strengthen its solidarity and actively promote its development; the
FDAPP finds itself firmly anchored on Section 41 Article IV of RA 9165
(Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) stating the involvement of the family and tasking the
same as primarily responsible for education and awareness (of its members) on Drug
Abuse Prevention.
There is also Chapter 3, Article 46 of the Child and Youth Welfare Code
(PD 603), which states the right of every child to a wholesome family life that will
provide him / her with love, care and understanding, guidance and national security.
6
5. So who leads the implementation of FDAPP?
There are two more specific mandates that FDAPP rests on. A Letter of
Instruction (LOI #1) signed by President Macapagal-Arroyo on July 4, 2001
mandated the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to lead the
implementation of the Family Solidarity Development Programme in the Prevention
of Drug Abuse. DSWD consequently released Administrative Order No 16 Series
of 2004 (April 14, 2004) issuing a set of guidelines in the implementation of the
FDAPP.
6. How can the DSWD do its job when social services are found in the local
governments?
Well, everyone (every Filipino family that is) must have the benefit of being
educated against the perils of drug abuse. Nevertheless, the FDAPP aims to reach:
(but the list is endless!)
Families whose members are not meeting their needs and whose
members are discontented in their current situations i.e.
dysfunctional families;
Families who are vulnerable to and potentially at risk for drug and
substance use and abuse
7
Families who are causing peace and order problems in the
community
8. Where exactly is FDAPP implemented and who implements it?
The community leaders i.e., the Barangay Council through the relevant
barangay based institutions such the Barangay Intelligence Network (BIN)
implements the FDAPP. However, it does not mean that the Barangay Council alone
does the job. Drug abuse prevention in the family is everybody’s concern. Families
must be directly involved. Church, school, civic and non-government organizations
(NGOs), children and young people’s groups must be engaged. Practically everyone
must join.
9. Does that mean all these organizations need to create new programs?
YES, if there are none available; NO, if there are already existing
programmes that directly or indirectly benefit each member of the family.
Remember that FDAPP is about educating family members and increasing their
awareness on drug and substance use and abuse. In so doing, it would be good to
make an inventory of existing services, i.e. parenting education, day care service,
health and nutrition, etc., and find out which among these existing services can drug
abuse awareness and prevention can be infused or integrated. The implementer may
also conduct other creative activities that seek to educate the families on the issue.
Correct!
With the end goal of helping the family prevent and fight drug abuse in the
home, the FDAPP wishes to make every family member aware of Drug Abuse and
how its presence in the home poses a threat to the family’s survival. FDAPP,
however, also recognizes the range of reasons for a family member to succumb to
drug use and abuse. That is why FDAPP includes (aside from education) economic
and recreational services and activities, all aimed at easing the family’s stress factors.
11. If that is the case what difference does FDAPP make since there are already
other existing programs?
A lot!
Since FDAPP has a single focus, which is preventing drug abuse in the
family, it tackles drug abuse issues wherever and whenever possible in any or all the
programs. Through the FDAPP, drug use and abuse prevention is discussed at every
opportunity that involves any or all family members. Parents’ associations, children’s
organizations, town fiestas and celebrations, sports festivals and the likes are
8
maximized under the FDAPP in order to educate people i.e. family members about
drug abuse.
The FDAPP has quite a number of distinct features, among these is the
involvement of relevant barangay based institutions such as the Barangay Intelligence
Network (BIN) in order to identify and establish the range of the substance/drug use
and abuse problem in the community. The formation of a Barangay Drug Abuse
Council or BADAC, and the organization of Family Councils in the barangay make
the distinct characteristics of this programme.
14. Where does FDAPP figure in case the family is already in the situation of
Drug Abuse in the home?
Within FDAPP, networking and linkages play important roles. FDAPP also
ensures a systematic referral system for either institution and / or community based
rehabilitation and reintegration.
15. When FDAPP is present in the community, what benefits does a community
gain?
9
A visibly marked people’s active participation to good governance
in almost all government sponsored projects especially community
projects;
A more cooperative and active constituent participating in
Barangay Information Intelligence Network being the silent
operator of the continuing program of BPOC/BADAC efforts;
Yes! And with very good results too! Next page you will read the story of
Punta Taytay in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.

“Bulawanon nga Barangay”
FROM HOTSPOT TO TOP SPOT
An FDAPP Story of Punta Taytay, Bacolod City
The People are God-fearing and have high moral values. They nurture God given
resources by taking are of their surroundings.
A Drastic Change
As the years changed, so did the good customs, beliefs and traditions of the one
proud community. Blame it on the evils of illegal drugs that have slowly crawled into
unsuspecting younger generations. For these young people the lure of its temporary
pleasure from the use of illegal drugs was difficult to resist even finding its way to the
most sacred foundation of society – the FAMILY.
The drug menace gained strength and control over the majority of the hearts and
minds of its people. The negligence of the former Barangay leaders has earned
Barangay Punta Taytay the infamous title of being one of the Illegal Drugs Hotspot of
Bacolod City. This moniker for the Barangay remained until the end of 2002.
A Change of leadership
The Synchronized Barangay and SK Elections in 2002 opened the opportunity for
Barangay Punta Taytay to substantially change and begin a victorious battle against
illegal drugs. When Punong Barangay Rufino G. Alcala officially assumed office at high
noon on August 15, 2002 he vowed together with the new elected Barangay Council to
minimize if not curb out the menace. Punta Taytay’s new leadership began;
1. Re-organizing, Revitalizing and Strengthening the Barangay Based Institutions (BBI’s)
particularly the Barangay Anti – Drug Abuse Council (BADAC) and subsequently mobilizing
Barangay Intelligence Networks (BIN)
2. Conducting pulong – in the puroks (small zonal meetings) through a composite team headed by
Kagawad Gilberto R. Guillena together with Church based organizations, the PNP-PCR, DSSD,
School (Day Care & Elementary), Purok Officials & Barangay Health Station Staff.
3. Forming family clusters with a minimum of ten heads of family, with a team leader selected from
among cluster heads. Many members of these clusters have either one or more family members
involved in drug related offense and violence.
4. Organizing the BADAC Auxiliary Team (BADACAT) composed of the Cluster Team Leaders;
11
5. Spearheading a massive Information, Education & Advocacy Campaign which led to the
successful launching of the “Martsa Kontra Droga” in Barangay Punta Taytay last 2003.
As all these activities progressed, Mrs. Basilisa De Paula (DSSD – SWO III) the
Social Worker in charge of the barangay introduced the PROGRAM with the
cooperation of the Bacolod City Government.
Mrs. De Paula identified Punta Taytay as the probable pilot project area for FDAPP
stressing that;
On June 30, 2005 FDAPP was finally launched in Barangay Punta Taytay
thereby officially making the barangay as a FDAPP Pilot Project Area in Region VI. The
launching was attended by DSWD Region VI, OIC – TAD Mrs. Lucita Villanueva, Mr.
Eduardo “Che” Guevarra – SWO III, DSWD Region VI, SP Member Jocelle Batapa-
Sigue – Bacolod City, Local Police Officers, Church & academes. Bacolod City First
Lady – Mrs. Elsa Leonardia was the Inducting Officer of FDAPP Core Group Council on
behalf of the City Mayor.
Soon after the FDAPP launching DSWD– Region VI through Social Worker De
Paula constantly monitored and supported the Program’s activities in accordance with
the approved plan of action.
After barely four (4) years of selfless endeavor, (including the Pre – FDAPP
implementation period covering the period 2003 through the second (2nd) quarter of 2005
up to the present) the FDAPP has been accepted by the people of Punta Taytay. Their
apprehensions about FDAPP changed after a series of public information and advocacy
campaign. As a result, the FDAPP as a program in the Barangay brought the people
closer to other tangible programs, projects and activities initiated by the Barangay aside
from the livelihood opportunities offered to them.
As the old cliché goes, “Life is not a bed of roses,” there were always facilitating
and hindering factors in almost all aspects of life. Life, as we know it is full of trials.
Some are difficult but overcoming them is indeed rewarding. For instance, during the
heydays of the campaign when people were so engrossed with their virtual life full of
artificial joy; the people did not care for anything except illegal drugs. The BIN then
nearly lost their trust to accomplish anything and efforts almost rumbled. Yet they
continued diligently for the sake of their children. Illegal Drugs slowly lost its luster
12
when efforts to combat its ill effects and the consequences it brings to the FAMILY
awakened the residents.
The community became receptive to the program and in effect, illegal activities
were exposed; schemes and innovations were unearthed; and prominent figures were
apprehended and charged. Two prominent figures of the trade were apprehended in one
of the barangay’s beach resorts; a big time financier (a close associate of now detained
drug lord in Western Visayas} and a supplier. Operatives of the Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency (PDEA) of Negros Occidental caught in their possession an
estimated 100 grams of shabu after a buy-bust operation.
As a whole, the support and cooperation of the people were vital in the
transformation of Barangay Punta Taytay.
WORKSHEET ONE
How did you fare? Did you answer yes to every item in the checklist? If so
congratulations! It would be easy for you to implement the FDAPP. If not, it is still ok,
on the next part of this guide we shall help you go through the process.
13
PART
TWO:
THE FDAPP
IMPLEMENTATION
PROCESS
14
Just like any other development program, you can implement the FDAPP by
keeping the program management cycle in mind.
A. Situation Analysis
A good program begins with a good situation analysis. The Family Drug
Abuse Prevention Programme is no different from other development
programmes. As such, important information must guide you even before you
design and figure out the ingredients of the programme and how you can
implement them. Remember that the FDAPP is all about the (1) family and (2)
drug abuse, and that the FDAPP is a (3) community based programme.
Therefore, you need information on all these three.
15
WORKSHEET TWO:
1. Draw a spot map of your identified area on the space provided showing the
following data:
a) number households
b) streets, purok or zones
c) relevant structures, i.e. barangay hall, schools, health centers, day care
centers, chapel, playground, park etc,
2. Now color the area(s) where the heaviest concentration of drug use as / are found;
16
Developing your Situation Analysis
Finding out the general picture can be easy. The Philippine National Police
usually has available data about drug related incidents in every barangay in your locality.
You can inquire and access this information. However, establishing actual data from the
community data can be difficult and may be faced with hostility. This is where the
Barangay Intelligence Network (BIN) can come in very handy. The BIN operates like so,
an intelligence body that seeks out information without harming the privacy or violating
the fundamental human rights of people in the community.
In the case of the pilot area (Punta Taytay) The Barangay Captain utilizes the
services of the Barangay Intelligence Network (BIN) to get valuable information
(valuable information includes unusual people’s activities demonstrated by
migrants / transients; isolated in specific area and number of family members
which are probably engaged in the business). Validation of information is done
by other people.
Other barangay based institutions and individuals who may be able to help you
gather data are:
After gathering the most important data, you may need to answer a few questions
that will help you decide to implement a FDAPP in your target community, among these
are:
1. Given the data that you’ve gathered, how important would a FDAPP be in the
community?
2. How supportive are the local leadership systems and structures to a
programme like FDAPP?
3. What resources would you need in order to implement an FDAPP?
These three main questions would then guide you in the next component of
FDAPP implementation: Planning.
17
B. Planning
Surprise!
You will find out that the planning stage of FDAPP goes almost alongside
data gathering in itself, because the people themselves are involved in analyzing
the situation of drug use in their communities.
Remember that planning need not be complicated but make sure that the
community plans are focused to benefit specific sectors. In FDAPP, there may be
three (3) levels of planning, namely;
18
All these are geared towards the family and drug abuse prevention!
Once a good plan is laid out, implementation should be a breeze. That is why,
you need to always go back to the main purpose(s) of FDAPP.

C. Implementation
There are many ways to implement the FDAPP. Depending on both the
situation analysis and the formulated plans of actions, you may need to divide the
plans by episode. In any case, you might want to go over the following checklist
of actions to determine where you are as far as the actual FDAPP implementation
goes:
===============================================================
WORKSHEET FOUR:
I have….
Yes No
Identified my target areas and sectors
Gathered important data
Coordinated with the Local Government Unit and presented the data
1. Provincial Anti Drug Abuse Council
2. City / Municipal Anti Drug Abuse Council
Coordinated with the Barangay Council and other key leaders
Identified and recruited families (family members) at risk
Organized a core-group of members
Organized a Family Council in the community
1. Invited potential family leaders
2. Oriented / engaged them into situation analysis
3. Included the Barangay Official in charge, i.e. KAGAWAD
4. Prepared venue and other logistic needs for the meeting
5. Explained the purpose of the meeting and presented situation
analysis
6. Sought formal commitment
7. Made schedules for FDAPP sessions
Conduct FDAPP Sessions
1. Prepared logistic, human and materials resources
2. Conducted the sessions
3. Evaluated the sessions
Planned support activities during the FDAPP sessions
Set up and agreed systems for monitoring and evaluation
Take a look at the above checklist. Notice that you are not alone in implementing
the FDAPP. At the core of FDAPP is the Family Council. Forming such a council
composed of people in the community (especially involving those whose families are at
risk) make the FDAPP really focused as this directly benefits the programme’s targets.
20
The FDAP Programme Components
1. Capacity Building
At the core of the FDAPP are training experiences that seek to increase
knowledge, skills and values of the participants to address drug abuse and drug
related problems. The core group of parents is the primary partakers of these
training experiences; they in turn pass these experiences to other parents whether
in informal or formal sessions.
21
Supporting these training experiences are other existing training
programmes and activities that include:
Many such actions abound nowadays that you, together with family
councils, can opt to implement. Good advocacy begins with good data, and
central to good advocacy is the formulation of strong advocacy message.
22
Note the types of advocacy messages;
===============================================================
WORKSHEET FIVE:
23
It is important thus, to (1) identify these groups (2) formally engage /
contact them; (3) identify concrete points of partnerships, and (4) find ways to
maintain the partnership. Refer to the Dangerous Drugs Board for specific
mandates of these organizations.
WORKSHEET SIX:
Which among these groups have you reached and build partnerships with?
24
Local Contact Person and
Organization RA9165 YES NO
Address
Others:
25
Monitoring is interested in knowing (seeing) where a program, project,
service or activity is going. How it runs and what entails it to run.
1. Progress and development from the date a specific activity begins through
the date it ends.
3. The total number of projects, services and activities within a given period,
i.e. monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually
Do note that existing programs and services, such as the PES and ERPAT
have built-in monitoring tools and you do not need to create another one for
FDAPP. Instead, use the same form and note that such specific PES or ERPAT
activity is part of your FDAPP.
Evaluation comes easy, when you are able to monitor the program’s
progress.
2. Effect or the observable change in a person, place or thing resulting from the
activity;
3. Outcome or other remarkable results that can be attributed to the output of the
activity; or
26
These are results other than output and effect, implemented plans of
actions, and more actions that build up from the outputs and effect. These include
more organized and systematic youth groups, more cohesive parents’
participation in their children’s school activities,
See Appendix C for the forms you’d need in implementing the FDAPP.

APPENDIX A
I. RATIONALE
The report on the national drug situation during the National Drug
Summit in June 2001 stated that in the past years, there were only 20,000 users
using only marijuana, a locally sourced drug. After 29 years, instead of abating
the problem, it worsened and assumed very alarming proportion. There are now
about 1.7 million regular users wherein 1.2 million of these abusers are youth.
The Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) records show that family problems and
social pressures are reasons for taking drugs. Moreover, a study conducted by the
UNICEF and Asian Center for Women, on 1,000 cases of family violence in
1994-1996 revealed that influence of alcohol and drugs is a major aggravating
factor in domestic violence.
36
II. LEGAL BASIS

The Challenge is to how to strengthen the family as a nurturing unit.
Core areas:
c. The family – each has his/her own self-interest, most often in conflict with one
another, for each has his/her own desire in life. However, the one who has the power
is the one who earns in the family - has the say, has the decisions, heard and followed
59
involved in their learning. Parent –child relationship continues through
adolescence and beyond
Parents and family members can have an enormous positive impact on
children’s substance-use decisions and behavior.
No protection is absolute, but parents hold the greatest number of tools and
have the greatest opportunity to shape children’s choices when it comes to
trying and continuing to use cigarettes, alcohol and drugs.
“The best kind of prevention is that which begins at home. If the head of the family
takes the pains of informing their children about the dangers of drug abuse, then the
drug problem in the country would not be as widespread as it is today.”
-Ople-Osorio
“As the Family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
- Pope John Paul II
Good and happy families do not just happen. They are products of basic principles
designed to achieve a certain purpose. “If you bungle raising your children,” according
to Jacqueline Kennedy, “I don’t think whatever else you do well matters very much.”
Parents may have all the best intentions in the world for raising their children but if love
is absent, that family becomes vulnerable to the storms of life.
60
“If children don’t get sufficient love early in life, they go crazy.”
-Erika Manfred – former Probation Officer for Family Court in Brooklyn, New York.
To put a child on a high pedestal without restrictions is a recipe for disaster, both for the
child and the parents.
Love without boundaries is not love at all. It is a license to do what one pleases.
Discipline, on the other hand, without love can easily be construed as harshness and
cruelty. It destroys the very purpose of discipline itself which is to do what right and
good.
Families need to have a family code. The family code reflects the attributes and
expectations around which family members live their lives.
Many parents fail to develop a formalized value system at home because they
themselves refuse to honor the values they wish their children to possess.
Some parents simply do not have the time to talk about what value system to
develop for their families.
Some parents lack the necessary values to share with their own children.
Principles of Modeling
“Our strong marriage,” according to one mother, “is the cornerstone of our family.”
Children do as their parents do. If parents love each other, care for each other, and
respect each other, children will do the same – to their parents and their siblings.
If parents want their children to accept their values, they must be conscious of setting
good examples in all areas of their lives: what they do, where they go, what they read,
what they eat and drink, how they speak, how they deal with others, and what they
believe in.
Laws of PARENTING
Laws are standards which specify the application of the general principles of parenting.
It is always a good policy to base our standards on principles which have universal
application. Parenting is like constructing a building. Architects and engineers should
first make a plan based on generally accepted principles of safety, convenience,
durability, cost, time, profitability, etc.
Love your children. Without love, all other efforts at parenting will collapse.
Hug and kiss your children. Infants who suffer from emotional and sensory
deprivation become retarded.
61
Spend adequate time with your child. Quality time is quantity time spend with
your child in love.
Establish your family code. A family code is a unifying principle around which
family members are drawn together as one.
Discipline your child with the best end in mind. Children who have not been
disciplined early in life develop a character/personality disorder and later become
a menace to society as anti-social persons.
Catch your children doing right. By catching your children doing right and
reward them for it, you strengthen that particular behavior.
Take an absolute stand against substance abuse. Drugs destroy countless
lives. When a member of the family is a drug addict, everybody becomes
psychologically sick.
Walk your talk. Children imitate and adopt those values they believe are
acceptable to their parents.
Learn to negotiate. Negotiating with your children is one way of making them
feel that they are important.
Grow with your child. Allow kids to be kids.
Be a hands-on parent. Hands-on parenting simply means you care for your
child and you diligently supervise his activities and behavior so that he will not
go astray.
Listen to your child before you listen to others. Be loyal to your child even if
he/she causes embarrassment to the family.
Create a nurturing environment for your children. A nurturing environment
is one where children can grow up to their potentials.
Teach good manners and right conduct. When people behave in certain
acceptable ways there can be peace, understanding and harmony.
Uphold spiritual values. When confronted with “breaking points” of life or
“nothingness” like death, hopelessness, suffering, tragedy, separation, anguish,
trials and uncertainties, it is the spiritual part of us that will carry us through the
rest of our life’s journey.
Encourage your child to dream dreams. By encouraging your child to dream
dreams, you have provided him with strong sense of direction, a North Star to
follow even in the darkest of nights.

balanced approach utilizing advocacy and prevention strategies, sharing of information,
consensus building, sustainable alternative development programs, strengthened rule of
law, and enhanced networking of all sectors.
