Kill Droga resumes symposium on illegal drugs
ROXAS CITY – True to its commitment to fight against the proliferation of illegal drugs in this city and the entire province of Capiz, the Kilos-Laya Laban sa Droga, (Kill Droga) will resume the symposium on illegal drugs on Tuesday, August 18, at Mambusao High School and St. Catherine Academy in Mambusao, Capiz.
Mr. Angel Celino, provincial chairman told The News Today (TNT), that thousands of students from the said schools are expected to join and listen to the speakers who will be expounding on the ill-effects of illegal drugs as well as the penalties against the violators.
Kill Droga started its anti-illegal drugs campaigned several years ago and it was ceased in 2007 after it conducted its last symposium at Capiz National High School.
Celino said that he decided to resume the illegal drugs symposium because of the rampant selling of illegal drugs to the students and the youth which destroy their bright future.
The provincial chairman, who came from car wash boy and worked hard to become millionaire, is very concerned about the students who are always the victims of illegal drug pushers in schools.
Supt. Ricardo “Ricbot” Alba will enlighten on the drug situation in Capiz and Roxas City and will lecture on the penalties and fines for those who are found possessing and using the said prohibited drugs.
On the other hand, Dr. Lea Sicad of the City Health Office will also lecture on the ill-effects of illegal drugs to the users while Celino will likewise advise the students to avoid using the illegal drugs so that it will not affect their bright future.
Mr. Noel Valentino will represent the local media while Mr. Isagani Ballera will be the emcee during the whole day symposium.
