Paragraph 1 & 2, Section 91, RA 9165
Introduction
The drug problem in the Philippines is quite alarming. In the status
quo, the enforcement of anti-drug laws has not yet reached its optimum
level. Despite being a widespread predicament, a drug free country is
always a thrust by the government. This will be achieved through strict
implementation of policies, stricter enforcement, and a more thorough
prosecution. This is where the role of law enforcers comes in. Police
officers serve as the first line of defense that is very relevant as a means to
minimizing offenses involving illegal drugs in the country.
The Comprehensive Drugs Act or RA 9165, an amendment to the
Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972, increases the penalties for drug-related
offenses. It saw the need to protect the citizens, especially the youth, to
create a safe, peaceful and harmonious society; and to reintegrate all
offenders back to the society.
procedure under the law, among others. A recent international study
conducted in 2008 showed that out of 13, 667 drug cases filed from 2003
to 2007, only 4, 790 led to convictions (most of which were cases of
simple possession); the charges against the rest were dismissed or the
accused were acquitted. (People vs. Garcia, G.R. No. 173480)
Furthermore, the Court is cognizant of the campaign of the police
and other drug enforcement agencies against the growing drug menace in
the country. Unfortunately, their best efforts, particularly successful
honest-to-goodness buy-bust operations, sometimes still end up in the
acquittal of illegal drug manufacturers, distributors, pushers and/or
lesser players, even when nabbed in flagrante, simply because drug
enforcement operatives tend to compromise the integrity and evidentiary
worth of the seized illegal items. This aberration is oftentimes in turn
attributable to the unfamiliarity of police operatives of extant rules and
procedures governing the custody, control, and handling of seized drugs.
(People vs. Cervantes, G.R. No. 181494)
This handbook shall serve as a guide for law enforcers and all
persons concerned in the proper implementation of the rules and
procedures laid down in the Comprehensive Drugs Act or RA 9165,
including its guiding jurisprudence. This is an effort to recognize and
address the technical lapses in police procedure like the preservation of
the integrity and evidentiary value of the evidence seized. Likewise, it is a
deterrent to the current situation that non-compliance with the law tends
to be fatal to the prosecution of drug-related cases. Therefore, as early as at
the stage of busting operations, the technicalities of the law would be
strictly adhered upon so efforts in combating the crime will not be put to
waste.

drug den, dive, or

below is a simple checklist of what other important data an
affidavit of arrest in drug-related cases should at least
Oo0oO contain:
 c.) Where to conduct inventory and photograph
1.) Name and signature of the person who witnessed the
marking, inventory and photograph of evidence
2.) Name and signature of the person who marked the
evidence
3.) Name and signature of the person who did the inventory
of the evidence
4.) Name and signature of the person who took the
photograph of the evidence
b.) How to mark Drug Evidence
Any physical evidence obtained must be marked or tagged before
its submission to the evidence custodian.
Proper marking helps the collector to identify the evidence at
any time in the future. This also establishes the credibility of the
collector’s report or testimony.
Markings on the confiscated drug must at least contain the
following:
1. Exhibit Case Number
2. Initials and or signature from whom the illegal drugs was
seized
3. Initials and or signature of the collecting officer.
4. The letters “BB” to stand for buy-bust
5. A numerical character to indicate the sachet number of the
seized illegal drug
6. Time and date of collection.
NOTE: It is also important to note the place or location where the
evidence was collected.
EXAMPLE:
JDL-BB-01
The place to conduct the marking, inventory and
photograph of the evidence varies on how the evidence was
acquired in the first place. As a general rule, the
documentation of the evidence should be done where the
evidence was seized whether or not it was with a warrant.
But there are certain exceptions depending on the
circumstances. Below is a summary of the Implementing
Rules and Regulations of RA 9165 Sec 21:
ARREST PURSUANT TO A SEARCH WARRANT
WHERE: made where the evidence or items were
confiscated to properly preserve the integrity and
evidentiary value of the evidence
WARRANTLESS ARREST
General Rule: made where the evidence or items were
confiscated to properly preserve the
integrity and evidentiary value of the
evidence
However, there may be certain circumstances that may
prevent the apprehending team to conduct the marking,
inventory and photograph of the evidence in the place
where it was seized.
Exception: nearest police station or office of the
apprehending officer or team
BUT they must execute a written explanation to
justify non-compliance of the prescribed rules on
inventory under Section 21, RA 9165 and must prove
 that the integrity and evidentiary value of the
seized items are not tainted.
d.) How to photocopy marked money
In photocopying the marked money, make sure it shows
clearly:
1.) The serial number of the money
2.) Other distinguishing marks of the money that has been
previously recorded
e.) What is the importance of Chain of Custody Form
Chain of Custody - duly recorded authorized movements and
custody of seized drugs from the time of
seizure/confiscation to receipt in the forensic
laboratory to safekeeping to presentation in
court and destruction
- Its record include the identity and signature of
the person who held temporary custody of the
seized item, the dates and times when such
transfers of custody were made in the course of
safekeeping and use in court as evidence and
the final disposition
The Chain of Custody Form is important because it:
- Establishes that the piece of evidence gathered
in the scene of the crime is the same one
examined by the Crime Lab and presented in
court
- Ascertains that nothing has happened to it to
tamper with the evidence between the crime
and the trial
- Guarantees the continuity in the accountability
of evidence handling since any gap in the chain
may invalidate admissibility in court
- Serves as the actual paper trail of the custody
of evidence that the court can review especially
when the marking, inventory and
photograph of evidence was not done in the
place where it was found
- Strengthens the prosecution’s case

CHAPTER 4
Relevant Jurisprudence
Elements of Common Crimes of RA 9165
Sec. 5 on Illegal Sale of Dangerous Drugs
In People of the Philippines vs. Francisco Manlangit (GR No.
189806, January 12, 2010) citing the case of People vs. Macatingag,
the Court prescribed the requirements for the successful
prosecution of the crime of illegal sale of dangerous drugs, as
follows: (1) the identity of the buyer and the seller, the object and
consideration; (2) the delivery of the thing sold and the payment
therefore (People vs Deguzman, GR 177569);(3) the proof that the
transaction or sale actually took place, coupled with the
presentation in court of evidence of corpus delicti. The material
proof necessary is that the transaction or sale actually took place
coupled with presentation in court of the prohibited or regulated
drug, which is the corpus delicti of the case, as evidence. (People vs
Rivera). Being the corpus delicti, it is the body or the substance of
the crime that establishes that a crime has actually been committed.
(People vs Garcia, G.R. No. 173480, February 25, 2009)
Sec. 11 on Illegal Possession of Dangerous Drugs
Under section 11, Article II of RA 9165, the elements of the
offense of illegal possession of dangerous drugs are: (1) the accused
is in possession of an item or object which is identified to be a
prohibited drug; (2) such possession is not authorized by law; and
(3) the accused freely and consciously possessed the said drug.
(People vs Carlo Magno Aure, GR 185163, January 17, 2011; People of
the Philippines vs. Joel Gaspar y Wilson, G.R. No. 192816, July 6, 2011)
Sec. 16 on Cultivation or Culture of Dangerous Drugs
The law and decided cases do not state with particularity the
elements of this offense. However, it has been ruled that Section 9
of R.A. No. 6425 (now Section 16 of RA 9165), upon apprehension
of the accused, does not require a series of human activities which
is, the deliberate planting, growing or raising of these plants.
(Eduardo Zanoria vs CA GR 110163, December 15, 1997)
The arrest was affected only after a series of validations
conducted by the team to verify or confirm the report that indeed a
marijuana plantation existed at the area and after an operation plan
was formed. Upon execution of the operation plan the following
were established: (1) A police continent raided a marijuana
plantation; (2) In the course thereof, accused was seen cutting and
gathering marijuana plants from the premises; (3) There were no
other plants except marijuana which were growing in the said area;
(4) There was a hut apparently used by accused and an old woman
as a camp or temporary dwelling which existed alone within the
area of the subject plantation; (5) The samples taken from the said
plantation were all found to be positive for marijuana. (People vs
Alunday GR 181546, September 03, 2008)
Another point to be taken is that while Section 9, Art. II of
R.A. No. 6425 shows that a violation exists when a person shall
cultivate, plant or culture on any medium Indian hemp, opium
poppy (papaver somniferum) or any other plant which may
hereafter be classified as dangerous drug, ownership of the land
where the marijuana seedlings are planted, cultivated and cultured
is not a requisite of the offense. (People vs Alunday, GR 181546,
September 03, 2008)
Sec. 26 on Contempt or Conspiracy
Conspiracy between the appellants was evident. The
transaction was successfully consummated between the poseur-
buyer and appellant Carlos Tan Ty, together with his companion,
appellant Nelson Hong Ty, with one receiving the marked money
and the other delivering the contraband to the poseur buyer. No
other logical conclusion would follow from the duo's concerted
action except that they had a common purpose and community of
interest, the accepted indicia that could establish the existence of
conspiracy. Conspiracy having been established, the accused are
answerable as co-principals regardless of the degree of their
participation. "Conspiracy," as used herein, refers to the manner of
incurring criminal liability, and not a crime in itself. Conspiracy is
not punishable except when the law specifically provides a penalty
therefor, such as in conspiracies to commit treason, coup d' etat,
rebellion, sedition, and the sale of dangerous drugs. The last is
punishable under Section 21 (b) of the Dangerous Drugs Act. When
the conspiracy relates to a crime actually committed, the conspiracy
is absorbed; it does not constitute a separate crime, but is only a
manner of incurring criminal liability. The participants to the crime
are merely held equally liable since the act of one is the act of all.
(People of the Philippines vs. ZHENG BAI HUI & NELSON HONG TY,
GR 127580, August 22, 2000)
Kinds of Possession
There are two kinds of possession that can be taken into
consideration one is actual possession and another is constructive
possession. These two kinds of possession are further explained in
the case People vs Gutierrez Gr 177777, December 4, 2009 citing
the case of People v. Tira:
“ This crime is mala prohibita, and, as such, criminal
intent is not an essential element. However, the
prosecution must prove that the accused had the
intent to possess (animus posidendi) the drugs.
Possession, under the law, includes not only actual
possession, but also constructive possession. Actual
possession exists when the drug is in the immediate
physical possession or control of the accused. On the
other hand, constructive possession exists when the
drug is under the dominion and control of the
accused or when he has the right to exercise
dominion and control over the place where it is found.
Exclusive possession or control is not necessary. The
accused cannot avoid conviction if his right to
exercise control and dominion over the place where
the contraband is located, is shared with another.”
Actual Possession
In the case of People of the Philippines v. Gaspar, the police
officer properly identified appellant as the one he transacted with
in the buy-bust operation and later arrested after the sale took
place. After being arrested in flagrante delicto, the police officers
found in appellant’s possession two small transparent plastic
sachets each containing 0.04 gram of shabu, a prohibited drug,
which appellant was not authorized to possess. (People of the
Philippines vs. Joel Gaspar y Wilson, G.R. No. 192816, July 6, 2011)
Constructive Possession
In another case, although the illegal drug was not in the
possession of the person of the accused Aure, it was in a brown bag
found inside his car. Considering that during the sale, it was from
the same bag that another accused, Austriaco, took the sachet of
shabu, per order of accused Aure, the owner-possessor of said bag
and its contents is no other than accused Aure, who has not shown
any proof that he was duly authorized by law to possess them or
any evidence to rebut his animus possidendi of the shabu found in
his car during the buy-bust operation. (People vs Carlo Magno Aure,
GR 185163, January 17, 2011)
Presumption of Regularity on Law Enforcer’s Performance of
Functions
Allegations of Frame-up is Not a Valid Defense
Petitioner’s allegations of frame-up and extortion fall under
the evidence adduced by the prosecution. Having been caught in
flagrante delicto, his identity as seller and possessor of the shabu can
no longer be disputed. Against the positive testimonies of the
prosecution witnesses, petitioner’s plain denial of the offenses
charged, unsubstantiated by any credible and convincing evidence,
must simply fail. Allegations of frame-up and extortion by the police
officers are common and standard defenses in most dangerous
drugs cases. They are, however, viewed by this Court with disfavor,
for such defenses can be easily concocted and fabricated. To prove
such defenses, the evidence must be clear and convincing. (Quinicot
vs. People of the Philippines, GR No. 179700, June 22, 2009)
Agreement and Act Constituting the Sale and Delivery of Prohibited
Drugs is What Matters
The Court have ruled that peddlers of illicit drugs have been
known, with ever increasing casualness and recklessness, to offer
and sell their wares for the right price to anybody, be they strangers
or not, what matters being not the existing familiarity between the
buyer and the seller, or the time and venue of the sale, but the fact of
agreement as well as the act constituting the sale and delivery of the
prohibited drugs. (People of the Philippines vs. De Guzman, GR No.
177569, November 28, 2007)
Regularity of Functions of Law Enforcers Must Overcome
Presumption of Innocence
The presumption of regularity in the performance of official
duty cannot by itself overcome the presumption of innocence. An
accused in a criminal case is presumed innocent until proven
otherwise and the prosecution has the burden of proving his guilt
beyond reasonable doubt. The evidence of the prosecution must
stand on its own weight and not rely on the weakness of the defense
(People of the Philippines vs. De Guzman, GR No. 177569, November
28, 2007) . If presumption of innocence is not overcame, i.e.
appellant did not attribute any ill-motive on the part of the police
officers, the presumption of regularity in the performance of the
police officers’ official duties should prevail over the self-serving
denial of the appellant. (People of the Philippines v. Laylo, GR No.
192235, July 6, 2011)
Buy Bust Operation
Procurement of Search Warrant is Not Necessary.
Accused appellant's contention that the buy-bust team should
have procured a search warrant for the validity of the buy-bust
operation is misplaced. A buy-bust operation is a form of
entrapment, which in recent years has been accepted as a valid and
effective mode of apprehending drug pushers. Rule 113, Sec. 5(a) of
the Revised Rules of Court provides that a peace officer or a private
person may, without a warrant, arrest a person when in his presence
the person to be arrested has committed, is actually committing, or
is attempting to commit an offense or an in flagrente arrest. (People
of the Philippines vs. Francisco Manlangit y Tresballes, GR No. 189806,
January 12, 2010)
Surveillance or Test Buy is Not Required for Valid Buy-Bust
Operation
Contrary to accused-appellant's challenge to the validity of
the buy-bust operation, the Court categorically stated that prior
surveillance or test buy is not required for a valid buy-bust
operation, as long as the operatives are accompanied by their
informant. There is no textbook method of conducting buy-bust
operations. The court has left to the discretion of police authorities
the selection of effective means to apprehend drug dealers.
Flexibility is a trait of good police work. We have held that when
time is of the essence, the police may dispense with the need for
prior surveillance. Furthermore, accused appellant's contention that
the buy-bust team should have procured a search warrant for the
validity of the buy-bust operation is misplaced. A buy-bust operation
is a form of entrapment, which in recent years has been accepted as
a valid and effective mode of apprehending drug pushers. (People of
the Philippines vs. Francisco Manlangit y Tresballes, GR No. 189806,
January 12, 2010)
Chain of Custody
Exceptions
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused by
ruling that the failure of the policemen to make a physical inventory
and photograph the two plastic sachets containing the shabu subject
of this case do not render the confiscated items inadmissible in
evidence. Likewise, the failure of the policemen to mark the two
plastic sachets containing shabu at the place of arrest does not
render the confiscated items inadmissible in evidence. In People v.
Resurreccion, G.R. No. 186380, 12 October 2009, 603 SCRA 510, it
was held that “the failure of the policemen to immediately mark the
confiscated items does not automatically impair the integrity of
chain of custody.” (Francisco Imson y Adriano vs. People of the
Philippines, G.R. No. 193003, July 13, 2011)
The failure to strictly comply with Section 21(1), Article II of
RA 9165 does not necessarily render an accused’s arrest illegal or
the items seized or confiscated from him inadmissible. What is of
utmost importance is the preservation of the integrity and the
evidentiary value of the seized items, as these would be utilized in
the determination of the guilt or innocence of the accused. The
presumption is that the policemen performed their official duties
regularly. In order to overcome this presumption, the accused must
show that there was bad faith or improper motive on the part of the
policemen, or that the confiscated items were tampered. In this case,
the accused failed to do so. (Francisco Imson y Adriano vs. People of
the Philippines, G.R. No. 193003, July 13, 2011)
The failure of the prosecution to show that the police officers
conducted the required inventory and photograph of the evidence
conducted the required physical inventory and photograph of the
evidence confiscated pursuant to said guidelines, is not fatal and
does not automatically render accused-appellant’s arrest illegal or
the items seized/confiscated from him inadmissible. The
implementing rules of Sec. 21 of RA 9165 offer some flexibility when
a proviso added that “non-compliance with these requirements
under justifiable grounds, as long as the integrity and the
evidentiary value of the seized items are properly preserved by the
apprehending officer/team, shall not render void and invalid such
seizures of and custody over said items.” The same provision clearly
states as well, that it must still be shown that there exists justifiable
grounds and proof that the integrity and evidentiary value of the
evidence have been preserved. (People of the Philippines v. Rivera, GR
No. 182347, October 17, 2008)
