DILG Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. on Saturday, May 6, called on local authorities in Zamboanga City to beef up efforts to protect their coastlines from the entry of illegal drugs. ManilaBulletin
Abalos made the call as he led the launching of the “Buhay Ingatan, Droga’y Ayawan” program here, bringing together all sectors in the fight against illegal drugs.
“We must check on our borders because the worst part of it is we might become the dumping ground of illegal drugs.” He urged the local police to strengthen their intelligence operations against illegal drugs and criminality as he underscored the goal of the BIDA program that promotes a holistic campaign against illegal drugs.
BIDA, which began in October 2022, is a response to the order of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen the government's anti-drug campaign by focusing on arresting drug lords, rehabilitating users, and reducing demand.
