This study is a qualitative type of research using the phenomenological approach that utilized ten (10) informants from the PDEA Bohol Provincial Office in Tagbilaran City, using a validated interview guide with open-ended questions prepared by the researcher. The informants were all interviewed individually. Colaizzi’s analysis was used to analyze the data collected. Three themes summarized the positive experiences of the informants, namely: Disrupting Drug Activities, Sense of Accomplishment, and Strong Organizational Support System.
