PREVENTIVE EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT (PECI) ACTIVITIES (March 2019)

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency as the premier agency in the anti-drug campaign launches the first ever PDEA Drug Abuse Prevention Comics which aims to create massive awareness on the dreadful effects of dangerous drugs.

The PDEA Comics is part of the agency’s Preventive Education Program which is meant to educate all sectors of society and give them better understanding on the various initiatives and programs of the government on its war against the social menace.

“This is part of PDEA’s holistic approach to curb illegal drugs. Telling real-life stories through text and images create scenarios that people face and channel thoughts to construct a better picture of how we behave and handle crisis that inevitably happens.”, DG Aquino said.

In response to the agency’s desire to proliferate awareness, this Regional Office held series of activities for the distribution of the said IEC material.
