“This is something the people do not see. In every MOA (memorandum of agreement) that I signed with various agencies, we have this program called Barangay PDEA. They only see the number of deaths or those arrested. Since the start of the campaign against illegal drugs, a total of 558,661 wellness and recovery programs were undertaken for drug surrenderers in community centers supported by the Philippine National Police (PNP).”
The ‘Barangay PDEA’ aims to promote a “balanced and humane” anti-drug campaign as it provides the public a more comprehensive platform of information on the harm reduction initiatives of the Barangay Drug Clearing Program (BDCP) like the Community-Based Drug Rehabilitation Program and Balay Silangan, both drug intervention programs for surrendering drug users and pushers to help them re-integrate in the society and become productive citizens.
“Ipapakita natin dito sa Barangay PDEA ‘yung mga totoong tao na nakapagbago ng buhay. Ilalabas natin ito in different platforms, sa social media, meron ding local TV. Meron ding cable TV. Ipapakita natin na ang war on drugs hindi lang huli, kulong, confiscation of dangerous drugs. (We will show here in Barangay PDEA those people whose lives were reformed. We will release this in different platforms, in social media, in local TV. We will also show this in cable TV. We will show that the war on drugs is not just about capturing, imprisoning suspects or confiscation of dangerous drugs). We reintegrate people into society so they will live fruitful lives and this humanizes the war on drugs of our President (Rodrigo Duterte).”
