Through the initiative of the Supreme Student Council (SSC) of Aces Tagum College, a symposium on RA 9165 otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2008 was held last September 17, 2008 at ATC Assembly Hall.
According to Mr. Rene B. Milan, SSC President, that the said activity was prepared to educate the students about the dangers of using prohibited drugs and the ways on how to fight against its urge.
They also prepared different events like on the spot essay writing contest, poster-slogan, and team building. This was done to convey the importance of sports and other physical and mental activities to avoid engaging into illegal drugs as disclosed by Mr. Milan.
Personnel from Tagum City Police Office headed the said symposium. SPO2 Corsino L Luengas, Spokesperson of Anti Drug Abuse Campaign, TCPO, emphasized the importance of the said event by pointing out the dangers of using prohibited drugs like committing suicide, teen-age mental illness, unwanted pregnancy, accident, and sexually transmitted diseases.
He stressed that these can be avoided if proper information dissemination should be done like a symposium. With that end, the Local Government Unit of Tagum City intensifies the campaign against the use of illegal drugs in different establishments as well as the schools and universities.
Moreover, he further put emphasis on the role of the parents in helping their children not to get involved in using prohibited drugs. He mentioned the so called “quality time” as inappropriate and inadequate because the tendency would be that the young ones will find for confidants and companions outside their homes who sometimes happened to be a bad influence and will pressure them to abuse drugs.
He also added based on the recent surveys that illegal drugs is now the most profitable underground business that captive market of about 190 million addicts and users worldwide. It also estimated to be worth more than 400 billion dollars a year, bigger than the oil and gas trade, longer than the chemicals and pharmaceuticals business, and twice as big as the motor vehicle industry.
In most cases, according to SPO2 Luengas that the causes of this problem are peer pressures, family troubles, financial problems, and lack of parental guidance. He said that this dilemma could be avoided if we chose our friends wisely. ”Take what is good and cast away what is bad,” he concluded.
