SECRETARY Benjamin Abalos Jr. of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Tuesday emphasized the need for collaborative efforts among government agencies and multi-sectoral participation to advance the national anti-illegal drugs advocacy program, known as “Buhay Ingatan, Droga’y Ayawan,” or BIDA.
Commending the Southern Leyte’s exceptional strides in curbing insurgency and maintaining a strong stance against illegal drugs, Abalos
cited the province’s performance against anti-illegal drugs advocacy during an Interfacing session last Tuesday.
The session primarily aimed to discuss governance concerns raised by local chief executives within the province of Southern Leyte.
