na droga sa bansa.
Sa kanyang paunang naitalang “Talk to the People”, na naihatid noong

the State to safeguard the integrity of its territory and the well-being of
its citizenry particularly the youth, from the harmful effects of dangerous
drugs on their physical and mental well-being, and to defend the same
against acts or omissions detrimental to their development and
preservation.
*School bell rings*

*students chatters *
Narrator: Vinia with a biscuit on her hand walks out of the school, about
to go home but decided through first her trash on a nearby bin. When she
was about to leave, she stepped on something. Picking it up she looks at
it with curiosity. It looks like a candy to her.
FREND: I didn’t know into that too! If you told me sooner, I would have
given you more.
VINIA: its not actually mine, I just picked it up earlier. Whats so special
about this anyway? Its just one of those ordinary candies that street
vendors sell.
FREND: gurl… are you serious?! You don’t know what this is? It’s the
trend nowadays. This is ecstasy.
VINIA: ecstasy?
FREND: yes gurrll.. this is not just an ordinary candy. It can alter time
and space and also gives you pleasure.
VINIA: are you saying that this is a drug? Isn’t this illegal
FREND: well its not illegal if you wont tell anyone. I see youre curious,
wanna try?
VINIA: they say curiosity killed the cat.
FREND: Well yes… but satisfaction brought it back (in a sing song
voice) common it won’t hurt to try one.
NARRATOR: Vinia eventually tried one and got addicted to it. She has
been using ecstasy for months now. It caused her to be irritable, have
sleeping problems, nausea, and impulsive and aggressive behavior. The
drug not only affected physically and emotionally, but also mentally
which cause her to have bad performance in school making her grades
drop.
