Whether be it in Metro Manila, Cebu or Davao, P/Supt Carlos has proven to be the bane of drug traffickers operating in many parts of the country. A review of the PNP’s most successful campaigns against illegal drugs would inevitably turn up his name – and a sterling professional record that includes the dismantling of the Antipolo City Shabu Mega-Factory in 2003 and other major drug laboratories in Metro Manila, Mandaue City in Cebu and Davao City in Mindanao.
All these operations involved the confiscation of billions of pesos worth of drugs, chemicals and various drug-making paraphernalia and equipment, and the arrest of known members of big drug syndicates, among them Chinese nationals. His excellent liaison work with other police agencies, not just with local bureaus like the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency but with international agencies like the US Drug Enforcement Administration and the Taiwan Police, as well as his outstanding intelligence work and coordination with local officials and community-level assets, have helped turn the tide of the battle against drugs in favor of law enforcement operatives. His successful and effective collaboration with the community is likewise well demonstrated in his accomplishments at crime prevention. In his stint with the Dumaguete City Police Station, P/Supt Carlos transformed the entire police unit into a client-friendly public service office, installing not just new facilities, equipment and technology, but initiating a personal transformation among the personnel as well. His advocacy against drugs and criminality – coherently packaged into a Threat Awareness and Personal Security training module he designed and conducts – have taken him to school campuses and barangay assemblies, often eliciting the involvement of volunteers who pass on important information regarding criminal activities to the police. The formation of the Metro Dumaguete Peace Advocates, which serves as a venue for multi-sectoral dialogues on safety and security issues, has become P/Supt Carlos’ legacy to the peace and order situation in the entire province of Negros Oriental. |
