IN support of the government’s strong campaign against illegal drugs, Councilor Romeo Calizo  reported that some barangays in the city have re-activated their respective Barangay Anti Drug Abuse Councils (Badac) as per directive from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Karon daghan na ga respond nga mga bag-o na kapitan because I’m sure they have realized the importance of this labi na kining effect of plea-bargaining sigurado naay makagawas diha kanang mga former users ambot og sa ilang pagka priso wala na sila gagamit niana kay, I’m not sure kay base sa report naa man gihapon gagamit sa sulod,” Calizo cited during the radio program “Ang Konseho Karon” aired last week.

He said those who are severely affected are placed in rehabilitation centers while those moderately affected are sent back to the society and given a fresh start in life.

Ang problema man gud kasagara mahitabo mouli ang apektado nga tao naa man guy moduol sa iya na former colleagues niya sa drug business. That’s why there will be a lot of tasking of the barangays to do on this. Basta illegal drugs dili ni sayon,” Calizo lamented.

With this recurring problem, Calizo reiterated the role of Badac in profiling their constituents as the best tool in determining not only the drug users but also the drug pushers.

Kay ila man nila ilang constituents, ang pinaka prime role nila is first, ila gyud i-profile ilang constituents to determine who are really the drug users. After identifying the users and pushers, if there’s any, diha na mo come in ang Cadac, Oro Wellness, law enforcement like PDEA and police. Together with this is the barangay tanod training as law enforcement deputies,” Calizo said.

He, however, noted that there are some barangays whose Badac are still inactive.

Unta ilang ma realize that in the future this is very necessary kay lisod kaayo nga afflicted ang atong barangay with the drug menace. Naa karon barangay drug clearing scheme nato and the prime implementor of the anti-illegal drug campaign plan is the Badac because they have the cutting edge on this,” said Calizo. (cli)
