the seminar was conducted in observance of the International Day Against Drug
Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
The event aimed to educate the
youth about the risks of drug usage and improve their ability to resist drug
use temptations. It also encourages youth to take an active role in initiating
drug abuse prevention.
Prof. John Cyrus B. Francis,
Director of the Office of the Student Affairs and Development Services (OSADS),
led the presentation of CatSUโs anti-illegal drugs campaign, including the
re-orientation program for all CatSU students, which highlighted the
Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
Moreover, CatSU University
Student Council President (USC) and Student Regent Francine Mae T. Tayo, who
was also one of the participants, urged her fellow youth to be more aggressive
in their campaign against the illegal use of drugs, citing drug abuse as a
โdeep-rooted societal problem that branches out in society in its evilest
form.โ
โThe greatest help that we can
offer [as a youth] is to not let ourselves be an addition to the worsening case
of illegal drug use but to help in the prevention and reduction of it. To my
fellow youth, the least we can do is live by the advocacy of Wag Tumikim,โ USC
President Tayo added.
Meanwhile, also present at the
said seminar were the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHUMSS)
College Student Council (CSC) President, Emmanuel Eric S. Llanita, and College
of Education CSC President, John Lester T. Templonuevo. #RJI
