A total of 80 Grade 11 students from Talacogon National High School participated in a Symposium on Anti-Illegal Drugs, an initiative aimed at strengthening awareness among the youth about the dangers of illegal drugs and other issues affecting their safety and well-being.
The activity forms part of the continuing advocacy of the Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MADAC) under the leadership of Municipal Mayor Pauline Marie R. Masendo, RN, in partnership with TCB-SURE, to promote drug prevention, responsible decision-making and a safer community for the youth.
During the symposium, MADAC Focal Person Myra H. Samoramos discussed the harmful effects of illegal drugs and emphasized the importance of staying away from prohibited substances and illegal drug-related activities to avoid being recruited or used as drug couriers.

These topics were covered under Project SAFE, reinforcing the importance of school safety, responsible online behavior and respect for others.
