The Police Regional Office 9 under the
leadership of Police Chief Superintendent Billy B. Beltran fully supports the program of the new Chief PNP,
specifically the implementation of “Oplan Tokhang-(Toktok-Hangyo or Knock and Plead).

“Project Double Barrel ” is implemented in a two-pronged approach,
namely: Project Tokhang and Project HVT.
The “Oplan Tokhang” involves the conduct of
house to house visitation to persuade suspected illegal drug personalities,the
lower barrel to stop their illegal activities. While “Project HVT”, the upper barrel,is the massive
reinvigorated conduct of anti-illegal drugs operations targeting high profile illegal
drug personalities and drug syndicates.

had knocked or visited a total of 39,390 houses.
Beltran said that Out of the above number of
houses knocked, there were 38,255 drug users and 1,346 pushers/couriers who voluntarily
submitted themselves to the local police authorities and had undergone drug
testing, finger printing, mug shoot, debriefing, medical examination and
tactical interrogation.
They
were also asked to sign a waiver or Affidavit of undertaking wherein they
committed themselves to abandon and not to engage in illegal drug trade
activities again, Beltran added.

drug users and 170 pushers arrested. On otherhand, 5 drug personalities
considered HVT were arrested and 15 were killed during police action in
