Cash prices await drugs informants

Rewards range from over P1.5 M to P1,000 — PDEA

The people are being encouraged by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) to get involved in "Operation Private Eye" by reporting any illegal drug activity.

Informants giving validated information will be given monetary reward, PDEA said.

"Anyone not employed with the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB), PDEA, Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, National Bureau of Investigation, Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Customs or any law-enforcement government agency, who can provide information that will lead to the confiscation or destruction of dangerous drugs, its precursors and essential chemicals, drug clandestine laboratories, and Marijuana plantations, will be given cash reward," according to PDEA

"Even members or cohorts of dangerous drug syndicates could participate and could receive the monetary reward, avoid or minimize criminal liability by serving as state witness, and get protection under the Department of Justice’s Witness Protection and Benefit Program," he said.

A person can be a DDB-PDEA "private eye" by filling up an information report form (IRF) at the PDEA regional office

The duly accomplished form may be sent by the "private eye" through fax at (02) 927-2899 or e-mail or may hand carry its photocopy to Operation Private Eye" at Room 207, PDEA Building, NIA Northside Road, National Government Center, Pinyahan, Quezon City.

The informant may also relay followup information at telephone number (02) 927-9702, local 149 and 150, identifying himself by his code name and IRF number.

Once the information is positive, payment in cash or check will be made through special arrangement to keep the Private Eye’s identity a secret.

In exchange for the reward, he should submit to Operation Private Eye secretariat the original copy of the IRF, signifying that he had received already the payment or reward.

In case his identity is compromised, he would be provided security assistance.

As cited in the rewards schedule for drug-related cases, a Private Eye can receive a reward as much as over R1.5million and as low as R1,000 for information resulting in the confiscation or recovery of shabu, cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy tablets or dangerous drug diverted productions; confiscation, recovery or destruction of marijuana crops or its derivatives provided the cultivator or planter is arrested in the operation; or the dismantling of a shabu laboratory.

Additional 20 percent of the total reward would be given to the informant if the drug pusher or trafficker is arrested. The purity of the drug or precursor and essential chemical, as certified by a government forensic laboratory, will also be considered in the computation of reward.

Operation Private Eye is a joint project of the DDB and PDEA that urges ordinary citizens to act as private detectives in the anti-illegal drug campaign.

The Private Eyes will also be acclaimed as heroes in drive for drug-free Philippines. By DEXTER A, SEE - Manila Bulletin
