00:00Babala naman laban sa tuklaw cigarettes na nasamsam ng PEDEA.
00:05Ating pag-uusapan kasama si Atty. Joseph Frederick Kalulut,
00:08ang tagapagsalita ng Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency o PEDEA.
00:12Atty. Magandang tanghali po and welcome back.
00:15Magandang tanghali po, Yusek Joey, Asik Weng, and Yusek Kaboy.
00:20Magandang tanghali rin po sa mga nanunod.
00:22Para po sa kaalaman ng ating mga tagasubaybay, pati kami na rin,
00:27ano ba itong tinatawag na tuklaw cigarettes at bakit ito delikado?
00:33Ito pong tuklaw na cigarettes na napabalitan sa social media
00:37at napanood po natin yung nangyari, kamakailan lang.
00:41Ito po ay sigarilyo na black or dark brown ang kulay po nito.
00:46Ngayon, itong ginamit po kasi na dahon dito po sa sigarilyo nito,
00:52ito po ay classified as nicosiana rustica.
00:55So ano po ba itong nicosiana rustica?
00:56Ito po yung tinatanim po sa northern part ng isang bansa po, dito sa Southeast Asia.
01:02And meron din po sa isang, sa North America, tinatanim mo ito.
01:06Sa North America, ang tawag po dyan is Aztec tobacco.
01:10Ano ang difference niya with the ordinary cigarettes?
01:14Yung ginagamit po natin for the ordinary cigarettes, that's nicosiana tapacum.
01:17And if you're going to compare the nicotine content of these leaves,
01:23si nicosiana rustica, that's 9% ang nicotine content.
01:27Habang si nicosiana tapacum, that's only 1 to 3% ang nicotine content niya.
01:31However, ang difference po naman nito doon sa nagamit, doon sa mga nangisay,
01:39is meron pong halong synthetic cannabinoid.
01:42Yun yung nakita ko natin based on our laboratory analysis.
01:46Attorney, pwede pong pakiliwanag kung ano yung ibig sabihin ng mga sintomas
01:50gaya ng psychotic episodes, hallucinations, at seizure-like symptoms na dulot nung paggamit nito.
01:57As ikuwing, yung nangyari po kasi dito, ang synthetic cannabinoid, chemical po yan.
02:02So, anong nangyari po dyan?
02:04Tatamaan niya yung ating katawan.
02:07Yun yung nakita ko natin na nagmanifest doon sa mga kapatahan sa may palawan
02:10and yung lumabas din sa may tagig.
02:14So, anong-anong efekto niyan?
02:16Ito, nagkaroon ng seizures.
02:17Of course, iba-iba rin pong efekto nung synthetic cannabinoid
02:20because nagkaroon ho tayo ng proactive measures sa PDEA.
02:26Nung lumabas po yung mga episodes na ganun,
02:30we already requested samples nung sigarilyo na allegedly ginamit po nila.
02:36We got samples doon sa may palawan.
02:38Yun yung lumabas at synthetic cannabinoid.
02:41And yung spectra of this synthetic cannabinoid na nakita ko natin doon sa may palawan,
02:46this is the first time that we discovered this in the Philippines.
02:49However, 2017, meron na ko yan sa Europe, nakita na po yan.
02:552019, nakita rin sa US.
02:57And same din po yung efekto doon sa mga gumamit doon sa iba't-ibag bansa.
03:02There were seizures na nangyari po.
03:04Attorney, may malinaw na ho ba tayong dato saan nagbumula itong mga cigarettes na ito,
03:09paano ito nakakapasok sa bansa,
03:11at saka paano yung distribution na ito, lalong-lalong na on the online market ito, attorney?
03:14Ano po yan, Kuyang?
03:16Ang nangyari po si Jan,
03:17we are now doing backtracking investigation para malaman po
03:22kung saan ho nakuha ng mga kabataan itong sigarilyong ito.
03:27Dahil nga naman, allegedly,
03:28ang sinasabi ng mga batang ito,
03:29binigay lang ng kasama ho nila.
03:32Kaya we are closely coordinating with the Philippine National Police
03:35to determine kung saan ho nila nakuha.
03:38Meron bang indication, attorney,
03:41na merong sindikado o organized group
03:45na nagpapasok nito sa Pilipinas sa ngayon?
03:47Yusek, Joey, yan po yung titignan po natin ngayon.
03:50Kaya ho,
03:52yung ating mga kasamahan ho doon sa may mimaropa,
03:55nakipag-coordinate na rin po sila doon
03:57to get the reasons behind.
04:00Kasi baka lang naman ho,
04:03we cannot discount the fact
04:04na baka meron hong nagbabalak na mga sindikato
04:07to market this illegal substance.
04:11So given that, sir,
04:12ano po yung hakbang na ginagawa ng PIDEA?
04:14Siyempre, in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies
04:17para maharang yung pagkalat nito sa merkado
04:19kung sinasabi niyong nasa mimaropa,
04:21pwede bang makontain na doon na lang
04:23tapos doon na lang kunin lahat,
04:26hulihin ko sino yung magmamarket doon
04:28para hindi na makalabas sa mimaropa?
04:30Sa ngayon po,
04:31we are just waiting for one more test
04:33para magawa na po namin yung final report namin
04:36to be submitted with the Dangerous Drugs Board.
04:38And ang Dangerous Drugs Board po,
04:41they will come up with a regulation
04:42na it's either to ban this substance.
04:49Kasi yun nga ho,
04:51yung synthetic cannabinoid,
04:53that is already prohibited
04:54based on the commission on narcotic drugs.
04:57Noong 2020 ban po,
05:00naglabas na po sila ng advisory
05:03na yung spectra po na na-discover po natin
05:06is prohibited.
05:08E meron naman ho tayong
05:09Dangerous Drugs Board regulation
05:11that's in 2020
05:12na sinasabi na
05:13kung meron ho nilabas na updates
05:17ang ating UNODC,
05:19ang ating CND,
05:20yung Commission on Narcotic Drugs,
05:21which is international in nature,
05:24automatic adoption po yun sa atin.
05:25However, we still need to get that regulation
05:28coming from the Dangerous Drugs Board.
05:30Ito, nangangamoy na may partnership na naman
05:33ng CICC at PIDEA.
05:34Alam na, kay Kuyang Joseph,
05:35may nakalatag na ba po bang operasyon
05:38labas sa mga online sellers at smugglers nito?
05:40At ano ba ang parusang kinakarap
05:42sa mga umahuling magbebenta nito
05:44at mag-aangkat nito, Kuyang?
05:45Sa mga kuyang,
05:46since we already have our MOA
05:48with the CICC,
05:49ongoing naman na po yun,
05:51ang mangyayari po niyan
05:52is we will try also to coordinate
05:54with the CICC.
05:55and other law enforcement agencies
05:57to monitor.
05:58Sa ngayon kasi,
05:58minomonitor lang ho natin
06:00yung mga online sellers
06:01dahil base nga naman ho
06:04sa nakikita po natin,
06:05it is very accessible
06:06through online selling platforms.
06:09Kaya ho,
06:10kailangan din ho natin
06:11bantayan and i-monitor
06:13kasi kawawa rin naman ho
06:14yung mga kabataan
06:15na tatamaan po nito.
06:16Paano naman po yung
06:19pakikipag-ugnayan
06:20attorney ng PIDEA
06:22sa ibang ahensya
06:23ng pamahalaan
06:24like yung public health experts
06:26pati sa mga LGU
06:28para mapigilan yung
06:30pagbebenta nito
06:31at ma-inform na rin
06:33syempre ang concern natin
06:34gaya nung na-discuss natin
06:36yung effects nito,
06:37yung health effects nito.
06:38Paano po natin matutulungan
06:40at mas ma-inform yung mga kabataan
06:42na delikado talaga itong
06:43sigarilyo nito?
06:46Yusek Jowid,
06:47this is already part
06:48of our demand reduction strategy.
06:50So, ang ginagawa natin ho ngayon,
06:53sinabihan ho natin

06:54regional public information officers
06:56to coordinate
06:57and disseminate the information
