PHILIPPINES
Philippines National Police officers complete their training as Drug-Free World instructors and trainers.
Following this successful pilot, the PNP officially partnered with Drug-Free
World for a national rollout of The Truth About Drugs program. Witnessing
the pilot, the Philippines Drug Enforcement Agency and Dangerous Drugs
Board joined the next training held in July 2017 to 107 people, who were
then gotten into immediate delivery themselves.
From initial overwhelm at the drug problem, officers and officials graduated
with hope and purpose. As one expressed, “Having this kind of training
made me alarmed and gave me purpose to do something, something that
can be beneficial to youth….Thank you very much to the members of the
Foundation for a Drug-Free World for helping and supporting us—the Filipino
people—to eradicate drug abuse.…This is something worthy to treasure
and remember.”
