"Saying NO to Drugs is the safest way of avoiding the temptation of using prohibited drugs", an answer given to a participant during the Pag-asa Youth Association of the Philippines' Drug Symposium held at the ABC Hall , Gingoog City on November 22, 2012. Being one of the two speakers in this forum has brought me the privilege of sharing to the participants the value of spirituality in dealing with the challenges of drug abuse. In behalf of Gingoog City Mayor Ruth Guingona, the concurrent Chairperson of Gingoog Movement Against Immorality and Drug Addiction ( GMAIDA) , I admonished the participants pertaining to the harmful effects of drug abuse and immorality. Being the Vice Chair of GMAIDA, I am more than committed to do the task without hesitation.
No less than SPO2 Arnold Sala of PNP Gingoog Police Station had discussed the criminal and penalty laws behind drug abuse including reproduction and selling of illegal drugs. The symposium was participated by around 60 youth leaders in Gingoog City . Each leader participant is the youth representative of the 79 barangays of Gingoog City. Hopefully, they could extend the information they have learned to their respective constituents. Most importantly, these leaders are expected to become the prime movers against any form of drug abuse in their respective community.
