Three LGUs Cited as Top Anti Drug Abuse Councils in Cebu

The cities of Danao, Carcar and Bogo are leading the rest of the local government units (LGUs) in Cebu in their campaign against illegal drugs.

In the first recognition since President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the campaign against illegal drugs to go full swing, the Cebu Provincial Government recognized the efforts of the LGUs from the city down to the barangay level.

The recognition also extends to their respective local police stations. The campaign Sugbo Kontra Droga (Sukod), however, started two years ago and implemented by the Cebu Provincial Anti Drug Abuse Council (CPADAC).

The Top Performing City Anti Drug Abuse Councils are, namely: Danao City which received a plaque and P500,00 cash; Carcar City with a plaque and P300,000 cash; and Bogo City was given P300,000. Following closely are cities of Naga and Talisay with plaques of recognition.

Also awarded yesterday were best performing municipalities and barangays through their respective Anti Drug Abuse Councils under Sukod.

Their city police stations were also given separate citations. Best Performing Police Station went to Danao City with P300,000, followed by Bogo City with P200,00 and Talisay City with P100,000. Carcar and Naga cities followed respectively.

The Top Performing Municipal Anti Drug Abuse Councils are Consolacion, Balamban, Liloan, Dalaguete, Asturias, Badian, Aloguinsan, San Remigio, Argao, Moalboal, San Francisco, Barili, Minglanilla, Madridejos, and Alcoy.
