The City Office of the Substance Abuse Prevention announced that four more barangays have been declared drug-free by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and Department of Interior and Local Government including Pamutan, Basak Pardo, San Antonio and Buot. Other barangays who were already drug cleared included Sudlon I, Sto. Niño, Sinsin, Sapangdaku, Sudlon II, Parian, and Toong.Rodriguez said that the barangays played an important role in clearing drugs from their jurisdictions as it would take a whole community to encourage drug users and drug pushers to turn their lives around.

“Dili madeclare ang usa ka barangay nga drug cleared kung ang ilang watchlist wala, unaccounted for. Let’s say naa silay 50 ka drug personalities sa watchlist. Dapat kana silang tanan moundergo sa atong rehabilitation,” said Rodriguez.
