(3) What is the level of compliance of anti-illegal drugs (narcotics) operatives with the different Standard Operating Procedures along pre-operation phase, operation phase and post-operation phase in the Cordillera Administrative Region? and (4)What is the degree of seriousness of problems encountered by the respondents in relation to their job as anti-illegal drugs (narcotics) operatives in the Cordillera Administrative Region?
