Bulacan receives top performing ADAC award from DILG

Published Jan 17, 2023 06:14 pm

The provincial government of Bulacan received the 2022 National Anti-Drug Abuse Council Performance Award from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) for its continuous effort to become a drug-free province and for having a high-functional Anti-Drug Abuse Council (ADAC).

The province was recognized during the Regional Awards for Top Performing Provincial, City and Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Councils on Monday, Jan.16, at the Kingsborough International Convention Center, City of San Fernando, Pampanga.

Included in the roster of awardees were the Cities of Meycauayan, San Jose Del Monte, and Baliwag, and municipalities of Balagtas, Guiguinto, Plaridel, San Miguel, and Doña Remedios Trinidad.

They all passed the 2021 ADAC Performance Audit with criteria including the number of Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Councils (BADAC), the drug-free status of their localities, and the decrease in illegal drug cases for the year 2022.

DILG-Central Luzon Regional Director Anthony C. Nuyda also announced during the program the launching of the “Buhay Ingatan, Droga’y Iwasan” or BIDA Program.

The program will focus on drug demand reduction and rehabilitation with the assistance of Local Government Units (LGUs), national government agencies (NGAs), and other key sectors.

In her message as honorary guest, lawyer Margarita Gutierrez, DILG Undersecretary for Plans, Public Affairs, and Communication and focal person of the BIDA program, said that she is counting on the local ADACs to be an inspiration to others in the country’s fight against drug abuse.

“In our fight against the drug menace, we need the whole nation's strength and I am counting on each and every one of you here to be the spark that lights that match. Truly, I hope to stand here again next year, congratulating you once more for your excellent service. Not only that, but I hope your achievements may serve as an inspiration to other ADACs and local governments across the country, so that many more will be acknowledged next year for a job superbly done,” Atty. Gutierrez said.

Meanwhile, Bulacan Gov. Daniel R. Fernando said that every local government unit in the province is vital in achieving a drug-free province.

“Napakalaking bahagi po ng ating mga LGUs upang maisakatuparan natin ang layuning mapababa ang drug abuse dito sa ating lalawigan; nang dahil sa pakikipagtulungan ng bawat isa, muling nagkamit ang Bulacan ng pagkilala. (LGUs have a big part in the goal to minimize the drug abuse in the province; because of their cooperation, Bulacan once again achieved the recognition). And by that, I vow to keep up the excellence that the province has shown in this field and will make sure that every Bulakenyo lives in a safe, healthy and drug-free Bulacan,” the governor said.
