55 out of 80 Oro villages active in fight vs drugs

FIVE villages in Cagayan de Oro City have put in place measures to treat and rehabilitate as well as educate drug users in line with a Department of the Interior and Local Government’s order directing villages to actively take part in the government’s war on drugs. Ben Calibre, an official of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency -Northern Mindanao, said the move to encourage greater participation of village officials in the anti-drug campaign is not new as shown by a DILG memorandum circular that has been in effect since 1998.
