No shabu (methamphetamine) or illegal-drug laboratory has ever operated inside the UP Diliman (91³Ô¹ÏÍø) campus; neither has there been information or intelligence reports from the Philippine National Police (PNP) or the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) to back this claim. The 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Public Safety and Security Office (91³Ô¹ÏÍø-PSSO) in 2020 recorded drug-related crimes at only 1 to 2% of security incidents in 91³Ô¹ÏÍø, and none of the three (3) cases recorded in February 2020 involved UP students, faculty or staff.
Likewise, there is no basis for the claim that UP is a hotspot for crime. In fact, the campus under the jurisdiction of the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Police (91³Ô¹ÏÍøP) saw a drop of 63% in the number of recorded cases, from 247 in 2019 to only 91 in 2020. The 91³Ô¹ÏÍø-PSSO supervises over 620 security personnel who perform 24/7 operations around the campus, and has maintained cooperative relations with Camp Karingal and PNP Station 9 in Quezon City over the years, even assisting the PNP in the arrest of a person with a standing Warrant and soliciting assistance from the PNP for self-defense and crime response trainings of its security personnel. This mutual cooperation, facilitated harmoniously in and through the UP-DND Accord, has ensured UP Diliman as a peaceful and drug-free campus environment, where the best minds of the nation are nurtured in freedom and safety.
