Republic of the Philippines Office of the President PHILIPPINE DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY Regional Office III Diosdado Macapagal Government Center, Brgy. Maimpis, City of San Fernando, Pampanga 2000 Email- [email protected] / Telefax-(045) 649-1009/ Tel No. (045) 649-1008 PREVENTIVE EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT (PECI) ACTIVITIES (DECEMBER2017) The increasing use of illegal drugs has significantly contributed to the incidence of heinous crimes in the community. Further, the proliferation of illegal drugs hampers the efforts aimed at promoting community peace and harmony and meaningful local development. Addressing the illegal drug problem is a shared responsibility between the national and local government in collaboration with the various sectors of society. Toward this end, the participation of the community plays an important role to address this social menace. The government, particularly the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB), has come up with a program on the organization of Anti-Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) and the conduct of Barangay Drug Clearing Operation. Amidst the existence of such guidelines, the implementation and functionality of ADACs had been challenged. Perhaps due to lack of proper orientation of various involved stakeholders diminishing the said project to be of less priority, making them activated but less performing. Consequently, Board Regulation No. 3 series of 2017 was issued by the Board which creates the Oversight Committee headed by PDEA Regional Director. The primordial objective of such creation is to monitor drug-cleared barangays and ensure that the guidelines set forth by the board are properly and faithfully complied with. It is for this reason that this Regional Office, conducted series of Capability Enhancement Seminars for Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Councils (BADACs) in order to equip the latter with sufficient knowledge, skill, information and update them on the various programs of the government in the campaign against illegal drugs.
