In light of the 2025 Anti-Drug Abuse Council Performance (ADAC) Audit, let’s take a quick look at its origins.

As early as 1998, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) had encouraged local government units to organize their respective ADACs.

DILG Memorandum Circular No. 98 – 227 enjoins all provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays to create their local ADACs in response to the increasing use of illegal drugs, which significantly contribute to the incidence of heinous crimes.

Abiso sa mga local government unit, audit season na naman!

READ | DILG to Review Performance of 1,716 Local Anti-Drug Councils in 2024 Using Online System

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will conduct its annual audit of 1,716 local Anti-Drug Abuse Councils (ADACs) this year to evaluate how well they are tackling the drug problem in their communities.

The audit will cover ADACs from 82 provinces, 149 cities, and 1,485 municipalities and will assess their performance for the year 2024. The goal is to check how effective these councils are, and to identify innovative programs and successful strategies in the fight against illegal drugs.

Eight key areas will be reviewed during the audit: Re-establishment or reorganization of local ADACs, Regular conduct of council meetings, Budget allocation and implementation of anti-drug programs, Support provided to barangay level Anti Drug Abuse Committees, Oversight and management, Efforts to clear barangays of drug influence and sustain these gains, Access to rehabilitation and reintegration services, and Local systems in place to ensure accountability and integrity.

To ensure a fair and objective process, each audit team will include members from the Philippine National Police, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, Dangerous Drugs Board, and accredited civil society organizations.

The entire audit will be done through the ADAC Functionality Monitoring System (ADAC-FMS)—a digital platform for submitting and reviewing reports. All supporting documents must be uploaded to this system, and local government units (LGUs) will also be able to view their results there.

Each ADAC will be rated on a 100-point scale: High Performing: 70–100 points, Moderate: 51–69 point Low Performing: Below 50 points. Low-performing councils will receive technical assistance and support, depending on the availability of funds. However, if a council receives low scores for two years in a row, administrative or legal action may be taken. Top-performing councils—those scoring at least 80 points—may be recognized for excellence in areas such as innovation, consistent performance, reintegration efforts, and aftercare services.

This audit supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s holistic, community-based, and human-rights-centered approach to combating illegal drugs. By moving the process online, the DILG is strengthening its commitment to transparency, efficiency, and stronger local anti-drug initiatives.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government, Philippine Anti-Illegal Drug Strategy-Project Management Office (DILG PADS-PMO) is looking for an individual who wants to be part of strengthening the campaign against illegal drugs. We are in need of one (1) 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐈.
