SULU - Governor Totoh Tan convened the Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Council (PADAC) in Patikul town in an effort to further strengthen the government’s campaign against illegal drugs.

Tan said the PADAC tackled the drug problem affecting several villages in the province with the police presenting various steps and processes in order to address drug abuse in those areas and eventually declare them drug-free free.

He said municipal governments and village chieftains should aggressively pursue different approaches to the drug menace and to intensify the advocacy for a drug-free community in Sulu.
Provincial and municipal officials, including the police and military and other stake holders attended the meeting.

The provincial government has been very supportive of the police in its campaign and has even launched programs to educate the public, especially the youth, on the bad effects of illegal drugs.

Tan also launched different sports programs as part of his advocacy for the youth to a healthy and peaceful environment. (Ahl-franzie Salinas)
