This study aimed to determine the level of awareness and extent of compliance of PNP personnel in a highly urbanized city in Western Visayas regarding RA 10586, the Anti-drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013, during the first and second quarters of 2022. The study involved 269 respondents from a police station, focusing on age and length of service as variables. Data collection methods included surveys and statistical analysis. The level of awareness among PNP personnel regarding RA 10586 was moderate, while compliance was low. Compliance varied across different ages and length of service categories, with enforcement showing the most variability. Overall, the study found a moderate level of awareness among PNP personnel regarding RA 10586, with compliance levels showing significant variability based on age and length of service. These findings suggest a need for targeted education and enforcement efforts to improve compliance with the law.
