A MULTI-SECTOR anti-drugs initiative was launched recently at a school in Orion, Bataan meant to save the youth from the drug menace.
The event, dubbed Barkada Kontra Droga, was held at the Justice Emilio Gancayco Memorial High School (JEAGMHS) in Brgy. Balagtas, Orion.
The Barkada Kontra Droga initiative is a collaborative effort led by Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, the Tobacco-Free Generation, the provincial office of the Department of Education, and the JEAGMHS.
The project is designed to educate youngsters about the harmful effects of illegal drugs and to enhance their decision-making skills to help them avoid substance abuse.
Popoy del Rosario, chairman of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Committee on Peace and Order and Public Safety, said the project aimed to provide comprehensive guidance and information to the youths against the social menace.
He urged community members to actively engage in the fight against drug abuse.
