In 1974, the inter-agency committee on drug abuse prevention education was formed to
strengthen the relationship among the various agency and the dangerous drug board. As it
responds to the drug abuse situation in the country, efforts of the ddb are also recognized by
counterparts aboard international agencies. The colombo plan drug advisory program founded

RA 9165 expanded the membership of the board to include the agency such as the department
of the interior and local government department of foreign affairs commission on higher

America reported in 2006 that almost one in five adolescents 19% has perception adolescence
abuse of cocaine /crack, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and heroin. 37% of adolescence cd have
close friends who have abused prescription painkiller such as according to the study almost half
of all teens belief that getting height from prescription medication is much safer than street
drugs and 3 out of the 10 teens see nothing wrong with abusive prescription medicines once in
a while, and they have believed that prescription drug are not addictive.

Philippine president Rodrigo R. Duterte assumed office in 2016, his government launched an
unprecedented campaign against illegal drugs. the drug problem in the Philippines has primarily
be viewed as an issue of law enforcement and criminality, and the government has focused on
implementing a policy of criminalization and punishment. The escalation of human rights
violation has caught the attention of groups in the Philippines as well as the international
community. the global health program of the association of pacific rim university or (APRU), a
non-profit networking of 50 universities in pacific rim, held its 2017 annual conference in
manila. especial half-day workshop was held on illicit drug abuse in the Philippines which
contained 167 participants from teen economies and 21 discipline. The goal of the workshop
was to collaboratively develop a policy statement describing the best way to address the drug
problem in the Philippines, taking into consideration a public health and human rights approved
to the issue.

The most startling worldwide trends that have emerged are the increased availability and
variety of drugs and the prevalence of drug abuse among the youth. drug abuse patterns
among youth change rapidly with different drug becoming popular. Child abuse has also
expanded to a younger and wider segment of the youth population. Millions of Filipino youth
nationwide are using prohibited drugs. The drug abusers are mostly adolescence running from
17 to 28 years of age. Majority of them are males with a rich you of 12:1 compared to females.
Most of user are freshmen and sophomore college students (Manwong, 2002).

Monitoring the Future, another national annual survey of teen drug use conduct by
researchers at the university of Michigan, has also recorded high levels prescription drug abuse
(67). In 2006, survey results indicate that the annual prevalence rates of Oxycontin use among
8th and 10th graders reached 2.6% & 3.8 percent, respectively. Vicodin usage also has a high
prevalence rate. And each annual prevalence among 8th, 10th and 12th graders was 3%, 7%
and 9.7%, respectively. This mark an increase from the rates of 2.6%, 5.9% and 9.5% for 8th,
10th, and 12th graders, respectively in 2005.
Finally, the national survey on drug use and health continues to report high levels of the abuse
of psychotherapeutic drugs (68). Thought slight decreases were reported in the usage of
prescription type psychotherapeutic in comparison to 2004, current usage levels still remain
wheel above levels first reported in 2002 when the survey was significantly revised. In 2005,
12% of youth aged 12 to 17 said they had dried psychotherapeutic for non-medical use at least
once in their lifetime, including 1.1% reporting usage Oxycontin, 3.0% using tranquilizer, 4.6%
using Vicodin, Lortab or Lorcet, 1.7% using hydrocodone, and 1.8% using codeine. Previously
from 2003 to 2004, lifetime use of Oxycontin had risen from 1.0 to 1.2 percent, lifetime use of
Vicodin, Lortab or Lorcet had rising from 4.5 to 5.1 percent, lifetime use of hydrocodone had
risen from 1.6 to 1.7 percent, and codeine lifetime use had remained constant at 2.1 percent
(69).

This study uses functional perspective to examine the reason young people cite for using
psychoactive substance. The study sample comprised 364 young poly-drug users recruited using
snowball sampling methods. Data on lifetime and recent frequency and intensity of using for
alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, ecstasy and cocaine are presented. a majority of the parcel
participant had used at least one of the six drugs to fulfil 11 of 18 measured substance use
function. The most popular function for use were using to: relax (96.7%), enhance an activity
(88.5%), alleviate depressed mood (86.8%). Substance use function where found to differ by
age and gender. Recognition of the function fulfilled by substance use should help health
educators and prevention strategies to make health message about drug more relevant and
appropriate two general and specific audiences. Targeting substance that are perceived to fulfill
similar function and addressing issues concerning the substitution of one substance for another
me also strengthen education and prevention efforts.

Drug abuse among the youth is a widespread problem in many countries including the
Philippines. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the root causes of drug abuse among
student as an avenue in looking for possible. Mere law enforcement activities will be ineffective
in curbing the prevalent drug abuse if it's root causes will not be properly addressed. With this,
there is a need to know the causes of drug abuse as a framework in re-aligning the prevention
and rehabilitation programs to ensure its effectiveness. surveying instruments and interviewer
employed as techniques in gathering data. The respondents include the law enforcement
agencies handling drug-related kc such as the police and drug enforcers. This study revealed
that the top 10 causes of drug abuse among student in college are peer influence, lack of
attention from parents, serious problems in the family, lack of guidance from parents, weak
foundation on moral values, suffering prostration, absence of school antidrug abuse council,
lack of drug abuse prevention activities, means to temporarily forget problems, and lack of
concern from faculty and staff.
Finally, the national survey on drug use and health continues to report height levels of abuse
and psychotherapeutic drug (68). Though slight decreases were reported in the usage of
prescription type psychotherapeutic in comparison to 2004, current usage levels still remain
well above level first reported in 2002 when the survey was significantly revised. in 2005, 12%
of youth age 12 to 17 said they had tried psychotherapeutic for non-medical use at least once in
their lifetime, including 1.1% reporting usage Oxycontin, 3.0% using tranquilizer, 4.6% using
Vicodin, Lortab or Lorcet, 1.7% using hydrocodone, 1.8% using codeine. previously from 2003 to
2004, flight time use of Oxycontin hydration from 1.0 to 1.2 percent, lifetime use of Vicodin,
Lortab or Lorcet had risen from 4.5 to 5.1 percent, remained constant at 2.1%( 69).
