PDEA DDO Provincial Officer Clodito Cañada revealed during the Virtual Illegal Drugs Symposium for the Youth in DDO that there are only 49 out of 237 barangays in the province that will be cleared from illegal drugs next year.


“I have announced during the last conduct of the Provincial Peace and Order Council; I have already signified to our Governor that we will exert all our efforts in clearing the barangay next year,” Cañada said.


He also bared that 176 barangays are already drug-cleared, and another 12 are drug-free.


“Actually last year, June to be exact, we have dismantled a drug den in Poblacion (Nabunturan,” he said.


 Canada also exposed that their agency is still monitoring one more drug den in the province.


 “For now, atoang sitwasyon nalang jud more on street-level pushing kay wala naman tay identified big time drug lord sa atong probinsiya,” he said. (For now, our situation is more on street-level pushing since we no longer have identified big time drug lord in the province.)


He added that the big personalities on drugs in the province are either dead, in prison, or voluntarily placed themselves in rehabilitation.


Although the province made rounds because of the latest buy bust operation wherein 17 individuals were arrested with party drugs, Cañada said that only shabu and marijuana are being peddled in the province.


The virtual symposium was initiated by the Provincial Youth Development Office, Provincial Information Office, and Philippine Information Agency.


During the session, Cañada asked the support of the youth leaders in lowering the demand for illegal drugs.


“Ang youth sector labi na ang SK, part sila sa BADAC. Didto pa lang, they can line up activities like this, na ma-educate nato ang mga constituents sa barangay,” he said. (The youth sector especially the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) is part of the Barangay Anti-Illegal Drugs Abuse Council (BADAC). There, they can line up activities like this to educate our constituents in the barangay.) (PIA 11, Michael Uy)
