The issue of drug abuse has already been with us for a very long time. Knowing the adverse effects of
drug abuse in the society’s culture and general well-being, many measures have been proposed and
implemented by experts in order to reduce and relieve, if not totally eradicate these effects. One such
measure is drug prevention education.

In view of the urgent need, the Department of education implemented the National Drug Education
Program (NDEP) which aims to prevent drug abuse among students through the development of
desirable values, attitudes and practices.

True to its commitment to uphold our pupils’ holistic growth and development, Abra Elementary
School in partnership with PNP – Santiago City Station 1 headed by Police Inspector Maggay a Drug
Prevention Seminar was conducted last June 23, 2019.

On the first day of the seminar pupils were the attendees. Our resource speakers used Audio-Visual
Presentations to show the harmful effects of drug abuse. They also emphasized the social, emotional
and physical dangers of abuse of illegal drugs. More importantly the legal responsibility and liability of
users and pushers were discussed.

The youth’s involvement in the anti-drug campaign is a necessary step because they play an important
part in helping stop the spread of illegal drugs in our country.
