3,307. total capacity ng mga drug centers sa BUONG PILIPINAS. Average capacity is at 50 per drug center. Ikumpara mo ito sa 10,000 mega drug rehab center na 400 lang ang patients. Hatiin mo sa 10 ang mega drug rehab center at ikalat ito sa mga siyudad or probinsya na nangangailangan talaga ng tulong eh malamang. Nagamit pa ng husto ang capacity ng ginawa nila.

 

sa tingin mo ba lahat yan fully utilized?

 

eh sa dami ng nagpalista na sumuko o natakot o nangako titigil na gagamit ng shabu eh pumunta ba sa mga nasabi mung rehab center? maaring iilan pero hindi lahat!

 

khit gwin mo pang 10 bagong rehab center yung pondo na ginamit kung gaya nga ng sinabi ni JK khit malayo, inconvenient, mura o mahal dapat may sakripisyo at seryosong magbago!

[Jasonkidd]

Balat sibuyas lang yun lodi mo ... Aware ka naman sa salitang constructive criticism? Kung talagang it was a mistake what's wrong in telling the truth? But yes as president he has the right to hire and fire his appointees at his pleasure regardless of but it shows the king of person he is. However we are not here to debate about Santiago's firing but to debate on whether builing it was really a mistake or not. On the side yun "PI ka pope" dahil nagkatraffic nun pumunta ka dito hindi ba offensive? I always believe kung kaya mong bumitaw kayanin mo rin tumanggap. Sports lang kasi pikon talo.

Again let me reiterate we are only talking of government owned rehab centers here para wala nang ibang issues as to mahal ba ang magpagamot etc. And sa ngayon there are various government rehab centers hindi lang yun nueva ecija. The main issue we are talking of is what decision should have been made and not how to justify its existence.

Tangkilikin man o hindi wala nang magagawa diyan kasi naitayo na di ba? Ang pinagtatalunan dito ay kung nasayang ba ang resources ngayong hindi naman na accomplish nito ang gustong objective which is madaming users sana ang matulungan magbago. Wag na natin gawin argumento na ayaw kasi nila magbago...given na hindi lahat ng sumuko sa tokhang ay seryosong magbago. Pero sa mga gusto magbago bakit ba bibigyan pa ng gobyerno ng dahlias magdalawang isip dahil ang mga ito na pumasok sa isang rehab kung may magagawa naman sila by planning for it properly at hindi yun bara-bara tapos pag palpak isisisi sa iba imbes na aminin na poor planning on their part.

While the mega rehab center is not built to earn profit i think we would be in a common position to say that the government envisioned to increase the capacity of our existing rehab centers in order to accomodate as much people that can be accomodated. As such it brings me back to the question pinagaralan ba ng maige bago nagdesisyon na mega drug rehab ang kailangan hindi yun mas maliliit na community based. Pinagaralan ba kung ano ang mas tatangkilikin o mas convenient sa "target market" nila ... Yun ay kung they did carefully though of their target market. O baka naman convenience lang nila ang inisip nila dahil under pressure sila to show that there will be sufficient rehab center capacity to support the war on drugs. Itong lahat ng ito ginawa bago ipinatayo hindi yun basta na lang nagdesisyon na hindi pinagisipan at ipinatayo. Ngayong hindi fully utilized sisisihin mo un addict kung bakit ayaw pumunta doon. Ganito lang yan ha ako halimbawa yun china sabi ko gusto kitang tulungan pagpapatayuan kita ng bahay. Pag dito sa metro manila mo gusto may 15 sqm ka na bahay at kung doon sa probinsiya naman 100 sqm. Eh na excite ka dahil napakalaking bahay nga naman ang mapapasaiyo kung doon sa probinsiya ang pipiliin mo so yun ang naging desisyon mo. Ayun sa araw ng paglilipat tutol asawa at anak mo sa kung anong dahilan kaya sa huli ikaw lang ang tumitira doon. masisisi mo ba ang kaanak mo na kung bakit hindi sila magsakripisyo at sumama sa iyo? Eh sa simula pa lang bakit hindi mo kasi sila kinausap at pinagisipan ninyo mabuti kung ano ang mas gugustuhin ng nakakarami at hindi kung ano ang gusto mo lang.

Sabi nga you can only manage what you can control. Kung magpaplano ka at napakaraming uncontrollable factors na hindi covered then your plan is in for a disaster. Alin ba sa dalawa ang mas magandang desisyon sana kung ang objective mo ay makatulong? Sabi nga kung tutulong ka na lang naman wag mo nang pahirapan. Ganun din yun rehab center. Kung ang objective nito ay makatulong sa pagbabago eh kung kaya naman gawin mas accessible at convenient bakit hindi?

 

Balat sibuyas? Pwede. BUT. MALI PA DIN SI SANTIAGO. Kelangan ba sabihin sa lahat na nagkamali or naexcite ang presidente? Na sana sinabi na lang niya sa mismong presidente? ANONG LAYUNIN NIYA? Now. Lets set aside politics and let me set an example sa sports naman. LA Revilla took to twitter his disappointment KIA trader Christian Standhardinger. What happened? He was traded after a few days. Balat sibuyas din ang KIA Management? Well he was just expressing himself. At tama naman siya a. He wants the best for his team. Anong nangyari? Anong paliwanag ng KIA? Dapat sa management siya nakipag usap and not taking it to twitter. Just the same. If Santiago has any issues. Take it straight to the president and hindi sa media.

 

Now. One of MTC members posted a the goverment owned rehab center accross the country. So meaning. Meron na din palang mga kalat na rehab centers. And like Ive said. Andyan na ung Mega Rehab Center. Will it do any good na sana ung mas maliit na lang na kalat. Or sana hindi na lang gnyan kalaki. Or sayang ang kuryente. Well kung kuryente lang, you dont need to open all of the lights. Part of it lang. Instead of saying it was a mistake and sana mas malapit na lng. Why not think of other things na sana may shutttle for the family members para madalaw nila ung mga mahal nila sa buhay na nagpapa rehab. We can't change what is already there. Pointing fingers won't do any good. And kung gusto nila malapit. Dapat ba bawat area meron? So how many cities and towns do we have? Dapat lahat meron? Or they will be using the same line that the rehab is too far.

Overflowing na ba ang tao? Pag hindi na talaga kasya then may point ka. Other than that, andyan na ung sinasabi mong hatiin sa sampu ung mega rehab na yan. Bakit mo pa hahatiin kung ung iilan lang na rehab centers e hindi mapuno?

While I value the opinion of Santiago on the said rehab center, he said his piece at the most inopportune moment. He could have said that on a further study and submit it to the PRRD, at least dun he can have all the evidence to back it up. What happened that time is primetime ethics complaint material.

 

(Take note: I use the term 'ethics complaint' pretty liberally here)

 

That said, we should stick to the discussion at hand (on whether the mega rehab is a boom or bust for the country) if we are trying to discuss several aspects of PRRD's drug policies here. I don't really have problems with a mega rehab, though I heard from several sources na medyo ill-advised nga siya.

 

That said, I still think PRRD's anti-drug policy is still good, at least on paper. But, the other part of policymaking is what happens on its implementation.

Boom or Bust, I think pwede na. For the less fortunate na gusto talaga magbago. Sacrifice na lang kahit malayo. And he have it built para ipaabot sa tao na I am serious against drug users. I want to help. If gusto nila ng madaming maliliit na rehab centers, baka wala na sa pwesto si Digong hindi pa tapos ang project. Hindi naman kanya lahat ng lupa sa Pinas diba? Pano kung ung ibang mayors ayaw pumayag? Easier said than done.

Having a facility as critical as the mega rehab in a secure place is good as long as mailalayo mo ang mga drug addicts from the sources of illegal drugs. Not sure on the drug-free-ness of Nueva Ecija though.

 

And regarding the right-of-way issues, medyo masalimuot na usapin yan given how semi-feudal a lot of local officials are. Ideally, all government executive officials can be whipped to duty by the President through Executive power and political will alone. Ayun nga lang, ipasok mo local government and politics dito, warla na tayong lahat.

 

Though I believe that even if Digong would want smaller, locally-focused drug rehabs, hindi pa rin niya magagawa kasi nga the funds used in building the mega rehab came somewhere. Siyempre, with that funds that large, dapat immediate ang impact.

Well like i said earlier i am not here to argue kung tama o mali ginawa ng presidente but whether or not tama yun suggestion ni santiago. But this is my opinion on what you said, may issue ba si santiago? Wala. In fact naibigay na kay presidente ang proposal bago siya na interview. So ano ba nangyari? He was interviewed regarding his pending proposal to the president on tv and it was his spontaneous and candid answer kasi yun ang paniniwala niya sa ikabubuti ng programa sa droga in support of the president. Now for me mas dapat tingnan kung tama o mali yun proposal o yun laman ng sinabi niya hindi kung tama ba si duterte sa pagalis sa kanya kasi whether right or wrong prerogative ng presidente to hire and fire someone he appointed regardless kung may pagkakamali o wala. Ganyan din naman un example na binigay mo kay Revilla at Kia.

 

Now parang ganito ang pinupunto mo ngayon .... Andiyan na yan eh so magadjust kung sino dapat mag adjust para magamit. Kasalanan yan ng addict kasi hindi sila seryoso. Sayang kuryente eh di wag buksan, magprovide ng shuttle etc etc etc. para lang we're on the same page my question is are you trying to evaluate the performance or are you now rationalizing to justify its existence?

 

Sa corporate world kasi ganito ang pagevaluate sa effectiveness ng isang project. Una you set your objective. In this case obviously it to support the drug campaign by providing rehab assistance by providing/building more rehab center(s). Next is how are you going to do it o yun implementation strategy. Dito pinagiisipan yun mga issues like isang mega rehab lang ba ok na o dapat mas maraming smaller community based rehab center ang itayo para mas efficient? Yun nueva ecija ba is a good location to start with (ie. Siguro dahil mataas ang bilang ng addict doon na gusto magbago at sa mga kalapit probinsiya) or saang lugar ba dapat itinatayo ang mga rehab centers kasi doon ang may matataas na bilang ng addict na gustong magbago. After tokhang ano ba ang programa ng gobyerno para mahikayat na magparehab ang mga ito (kung aasa tayo na magkukusa yan ay good luck) etc etc etc ... After all these have been decided upon and implemented now come the process audit yun iba they do it via the accomplishment report wherein yun success measurement are indicated and compared to actual performance. If positive variance ka vs the goal then your plan obviously worked but if not then technically you failed maybe because of mistakes in the planning process or may hindi ginawa sa plano kaya hindi na achieve ang desired result(s). To sum it up if we are going to be "professional" in evaluating if this was a "mistake" or not then i would be expecting the gov't to lay down the original plan and their kra's then compare it with the actual results. Yun nga nabanggit mo na measures to be taken as well as yun official statement na pwede naman gawing military housing or office, well it seems these are not part of the plan kaya nga hindi ginawa or if it was then obviously di ginawa. In that sense clearly building the mega rehab center was not well though of and therefore was a mistake.

 

I wonder was there any instance na kinontra ng malacanang na mali yun naging evaluation niya sa mega rehab center? Na hindi tama o hindi nagustuhan ng presidente ang proposal na damihan ang community based rehab center? Ang lagi kong naririnig at nababasa so far eh hindi nagustuhan ng presidente ang ginawa niya. At walang kinalaman yun paglabas at pagsalita niya sa TV sa evaluation kung eFfecTive ba yun mega rehab center.

 

So again wag natin pagisahin sa isang usapan kung tama o mali ba yun paglabas niya sa TV sa kung tama ba o mali yun content ng sinabi niya. Those two are exclusive and independent of each other. I hope this clears the matter once and for all.

May punto kayong pareho ... And you guys brought this up:

 

- baka kung gusto nila madaming maliliit na rehab center eh baka wala na sila sa pwesto

 

- dapat immediate ang impact

 

 

Which made me think, ano ba ang naging prioridad sa planning stage nun project? Yun short term gains niya wherein bongga ang project malaki at madaling natapos pero sa ngayon nga di naman efficiently utilized based on occupancy ratio. Or yun long term vision niya sa ating bansa na dapat masugpo ang problema sa droga kahit na hindi bongga ang dating pero efficient at effective?

I would want to utilize the mega rehab as much. Nandyan na eh.

 

Though para ma-utilize siya ng maayos, dapat magkaroon ng susunod na stage ang anti-drug policy ng Presidente which should follow the gains on the previous actions undertaken (Tokhang, Double Barrel, etc.). Hindi lang huli, patay, pa-rehab at rinse-and-repeat lang ang isang anti-drug policy. Hindi lang dapat short term ang impact niyan.

 

Anyways, I am still surprised that despite how supply side - centric ang anti-drug policy natin, how come the legislators are not keen on exploring the 6B worth of drugs taken during the Bureau of Customs raid.

[haroots2]

For me pwedeng gamitin ang mega drug center sa mga minor offenders na drug addicts especially minors. Sa laki pwede naman hatiin ang adults sa minors. Sa minors na nakapag commit ng crime pwede naman siguro iutos ng korte since hindi naman sila pwede ikulong na dalhin sila dito to recover. Hindi naman ito aksaya, pwede pa naman gumawa ng paraan para ma maximize itong mega drug center. Make the prosecutors recommends to the court that those drug offenders should comply in going into a drug rehab.

Kung talagang masyadong malaki to fill it up pwede ding hatiin para gawing some sort of a boys town.

Kaya nga poor planning ang nangyari...lumalabas ngayon dapat may ganito o ganyan gawin which most likely did not come into consideration during the initial planning and execution phase.

 

Mabuti at nabanggit mo din ang kakulangan at kahinaan ng wod. Its not as rosy as some die hard would project it to be

Have you seen the rehab center? How do you propose na hatiin ang usage nito physically?

 

Sa nakita ko kasi isang compound yan na may madaming "housing". They probably share common facilities. Hindi lang naman confined sa loob ng housing ang mga patient. I suppose ganun din ang sitwasyon para sa isang kulungan hindi naman sila confined to their cells lagi.

 

In other words pwede ba at tama bang ipagsama ang pagreporma ng isang criminal sa isang user.

 

Gusto ko lang ma enlighten.

Eto from press release nun inauguration ng mega rehab center november 30 of last year galing Malaya. RODY INAUGURATES MEGA DRUG REHAB CENTER by JOcelyn Montemayor

 

Sabi ni dating health secretary Ubial around 800 personnel have been hired as of october (2016) to supervise the in-patients everyday for the next 6 months.

 

At least 2500 drug users who will come from nueva ecija, pampangga, pangasinan and tarlac would be included in the first batch of in-patients to be rehabilitated over a six to 12 months period. During the innaguration, 37 drug users were already set to undergo rehab.

 

============

 

Ayan may figures na tayong paguusapan para maging batayan kung successful ba ang implementation at kung walang bang nasayang sa kaban ng bayan.

 

Well kung yan ang ating pagbabatayan ang ratio ng actual patient to health workers ay nasa 1:2 matindi ito kahit ikumpara mo pa pag nasa icu na ang patient. ang initial projection halos nasa 3:1 lang.

 

Sabi pa they are expecting an initial batch of 2500 ... so sa tingin ko naman eh napagaralan talaga paano at saan manggagaling ang numerong yan. And note initial batch pa lang yan ha eh di nga inabot kasi 400 lang halos di ba after almost a year.

 

At sa mga nagpapalusot o nagrarationalize regarding the issue na accessibility should not be a concern. Take note kung taga saan ba ang iniexpect nila ang papasok sa rehab center. Sa nueva ecija at ang karatig pook nito. In fact the same articles says the gov't intends to construct additional mega drug facilities in luzon, visayas and mindanao. So why will they do that if accessibility is not an issue at punta na lang lahat sa nueva ecija basta seryosong magparehab?

 

Again the issue i am raising is kung tama ang laman ng sinabi ni santiago hindi kung tama ang kanyang pagsasalita na di ikinatuwa ng presidente.

For me tama naman sinabi ni Santiago e. Ang problema is ano ang agenda niya? May na excite pa siyang nalalaman. Kung ang sinabi na lang niya is initial pa lang yan, at marami pa tayong ipapatayo edi sana walang problema. Just for the record, he has to remember, HE WORKS FOR THE PRESIDENT TO SERVE THE FILIPINO NATION.
