Types of Drugs /Substance of Abuse

1. Gateway Drugs
Gateway drugs such as cigarettes and alcohol are legal drugs that a
non-drug user might try, which can lead him/her to more dangerous
drugs such as marijuana and shabu. Teenagers who engage in early
smoking and early drinking have a higher chance of using and
experimenting with dangerous drugs of abuse.
1. Depressant Drugs

Depressant drugs slow down a person’s central nervous system (CNS)

that is why it is also called “downers”. The central nervous system
includes the brain, spinal cords, and nerves. Doctors commonly
prescribe depressant drugs to help certain persons to be less angry, less
stressed, or tensed. Depressant drugs relax muscles and nerves.
These drugs also make patients feel sleep and light-headed. Depressant
drugs include alcohol, barbiturates, and tranquilizers.

2. Stimulant Drugs

Stimulant drugs speed up a person’s central nervous system. Stimulant

drugs have the opposite side effect of depressants. Stimulants make a
person’s energy high. Negative effects of stimulants include depression
and tiredness. Stimulants include amphetamines which include shabu,
caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine.

 Region IX: Zamboanga Peninsula Hymn – Our Eden Land
Here the trees and flowers bloom Gallant men And Ladies fair
Here the breezes gently Blow, Linger with love and care
Here the birds sing Merrily, Golden beams of sunrise and sunset
The liberty forever Stays, Are visions you’ll never forget
Oh! That’s Region IX
Here the Badjaos roam the seas Hardworking people Abound,
Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dale
Here the Tausogs thrive so free Zamboangueños, Tagalogs, Bicolanos,
With the Yakans in unity
My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!,
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight,
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need.
I die just when I see the dawn break,
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day;
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take,
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake
To dye with its crimson the waking ray.
My dreams, when life first opened to me,
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high,
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free;
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye.
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire,
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ;
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire;
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night.
If over my grave some day thou seest grow,
In the grassy sod, a humble flower,
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so,
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power.
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes,
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ;
And if on my cross a bird should be seen,
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes.
I Am a Filipino, by Carlos P. Romulo
I am a Filipino–inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain
future. As such I must prove equal to a two-fold task–the task of
meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing
my obligation to the future.
I sprung from a hardy race, child many generations removed of
ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries the memory comes
rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in
ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see
them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind,
carried upon the mighty swell of hope–hope in the free abundance
of new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes–seed
that flowered down the centuries in deeds of courage and defiance.
In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to
battle against the first invader of this land, that nerved Lakandula
in the combat against the alien foe, that drove Diego Silang and
Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor.
The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my
manhood, the symbol of dignity as a human being. Like the seeds
that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand
years ago, it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the
insignia of my race, and my generation is but a stage in the
unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.
Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Subanons, Boholanos, Ilongos,
All of them are proud and true

Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
Pray for all those that hapless have died,
For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
An d when the dark night wraps the graveyar d ar oun d
With only the dead in their vigil to see
Break n ot my repose or the mystery prof oun d
An d perch ance thou mayst hear a sad hy mn resoun d
'T is I, O my country, raising a song unt o thee.
An d even my grave is remember ed n o more
Unmar k' d by never a cr oss nor a ston e
Let the plow sw eep through it, the spade turn it o'er
That my ash es may carpet earthly f loor,
Bef ore int o nothingness at last they ar e blown.
Then will oblivion brin g to me no care
As over thy vales an d plains I sweep;
Throbbing an d cleansed in thy space an d air
With color an d l ight, with song an d lament I fare,
Ever repeating the faith that I keep.
My Fatherlan d ador' d, that sadn ess to my sorrow len ds
Beloved Filipin as, h ear now my last good - by!
I give thee all: par ents an d kin dred an d frien ds
For I g o wher e no slave bef ore the oppr essor ben ds,
Where faith can never kill, an d God reign s e' er on high!
Farew ell to y ou all, from my soul torn away,
Frien ds of my childh ood in the h ome dispossessed!
Give than ks that I rest from th e wearisome day!
Farew ell t o thee, t oo, sweet frien d that l ig htened my way;
Beloved creatur es all, farewell! In death ther e is rest !
I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The
East, with its languor and mysticism, its passivity and endurance,
was my mother, and my sire was the West that came thundering
across the seas with the Cross and Sword and the Machine. I am of
the East, an eager participant in its spirit, and in its struggles for
liberation from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East
must awake from its centuried sleep, shake off the lethargy that has
bound his limbs, and start moving where destiny awaits.
I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give
that I may prove worthy of my inheritance? I shall give the pledge
that has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it
shall be compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears
when first they saw the contours of this land loom before their eyes,
of the battle cries that have resounded in every field of combat from
Mactan to Tirad Pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:
“I am a Filipino born to freedom, and I shall not rest until freedom
shall have been added unto my inheritance—for myself and my
children and my children’s children—forever.”
