CITY OF SAN FERNANDO– Hundreds of student leaders from all towns and cities in Pampanga have pledged to support the government in its fight against illegal drugs and terrorism.
The student leaders committed themselves to this during the provincial peacebuilding seminar of the Kabataan Kontra Droga at Terorismo (KKDAT) initiated recently by various government agencies at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center here.
Over a thousand student leaders vowed to cooperate and help in the campaign, organizers said.
The seminar was initiated by the Pampanga Peace and Order Council, in partnership with the Department of the Interior and Local Government , Department of Education, Philippine National Police, and the Armed Forces of the Philippines “to raise the awareness and promote advocacy against the use of illegal drugs, and prevent the possible recruitment of the youth in terrorist-affiliated groups.”
DILG provincial officer Myrvi Fabia said the seminar “aimed to educate and engage the youth in discussions about the ill-effects of illegal drugs and terrorism in the society.”
She said it “also served as an avenue for students to voice out and clarify their concerns relative to the government’s programs in combating illegal drugs and terrorism.”
The student leaders signed a document committing themselves to the campaign against illegal drugs and terrorism under the KKDAT.
