The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), in partnership with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the Philippine National Police (PNP), successfully conducted the โCoaching on the Re-Application for Barangay Drug Cleared Statusโ on May 6โ7, 2026 at Highland Function Farm and Hotel La Salle, Bislig City.
The activity was participated in by DILG personnel, PDEA representatives, PNP personnel, Community-Based Drug Rehabilitation Program (CBDRP) Focal Person, and the Barangay Secretaries of Barangay Pamanlinan, Barangay Pamaypayan, Barangay Caguyao, and Barangay Tumanan.
The two-day coaching activity aimed to guide and assist the participating barangays in the preparation and completion of documentary requirements necessary for the re-application of their Barangay Drug Cleared Status. Discussions focused on the updated guidelines, compliance requirements, and strategies to sustain anti-illegal drug initiatives at the barangay level.
Resource persons from PDEA and partner agencies provided technical assistance and shared insights on strengthening community-based interventions, monitoring mechanisms, and collaborative efforts in maintaining drug-free communities.
The activity further emphasized the importance of inter-agency cooperation and the commitment of local government units and barangays in supporting the national governmentโs anti-illegal drug campaign through sustainable and community-based approaches.
DILG reaffirmed its continued support to barangays in ensuring compliance with the parameters set for maintaining and achieving Drug Cleared Status, ultimately promoting safer and more peaceful communities.
