Navotas intensifies anti-drug drive, launches ‘Pinoy BILIB Ako’

- Pete Laude -
The Navotas municipal government has intensified its campaign against illegal drugs with the launch last week of "Pinoy BILIB Ako! Believe, Innovate, Lead, Inspire, Build" program.

The public and private sectors as well as the religious sector and non-government organizations joined forces with the police in the BILIB Ako project, which is centered on information and awareness campaign against illegal drugs.

Part of the project is putting up signboards in strategic areas in the town where telephone numbers of municipal government agencies involved in the anti-drug drive, the police in particular, are written.

Any individual could have access to the numbers if they wish to report suspected drug pushers or users in the area with the assurance that their identity would remain confidential.

"Maging mapagbantay tayo. Isuplong ang dapat isuplong
(Be vigilant. Report those who need to be reported)," Mayor Toby Tiangco urged his constituents.

Jerry Doringo, Navotas’ public information officer, said the signboards would be posted in the town’s 14 barangay halls, in public and private schools, and in main thoroughfares.

At least six more barangays in Navotas — Tangos, Daang Hari, NBBN, NBBS, Sipac Almacin, and San Roque — remain in the watch list of the police anti-drug unit.

"I believed that if we work together, illegal drugs could not find its place here in our town," Tiangco said.
