Nangako si Anakalusugan party list Rep. Michael “Mike” Defensor (Anakalusugan) na magtatayo ito ng bagong residential treatment and rehabilitation center (TRC) para sa mga drug dependents sa Quezon City.
“There’s no question that the illegal drug scourge continues to wreak havoc on our communities. Even as we speak, there are many families breaking up or in crisis because of a drug-dependent parent, son, or daughter,” sabi ni Defensor, na tumatakbong alkalde ng QC.
“We recognize that drug dependents can harm themselves or others, so we want to encourage families to voluntarily bring them in for free treatment and rehabilitation,” dagdag pa nito.
Sinabi pa ng kongresista na plano nitong maglagay ng modernong TRC sa Quezon City na may dalawang dormitory para sa mga kababaihan at kalalakihang pasyente kung saan ang mga drug dependents ay gagamutin sa loob ng anim na buwang recovery program.
“We want drug dependents to recover and become highly productive citizens again for the sake of their families,” ani Defensor.
Aniya, ang drug dependency ay hindi lang hamon sa mga law enforcement kung hindi maging sa usapin ng kalusugan.
Samantala, ang QC Sports Academy ay naglalayong mailayo ang mga kabataan sa bawal na gamot.
“We absolutely need sports activities to fully develop our children, and to keep them away from illegal drugs. The sports academy will create new and better pathways for students and out-of-school youth who want to pursue careers in athletics,” sabi ni Defensor, vice chair ng House committee on welfare of children.
“The sports academy will create new and better pathways for students and out-of-school youth who want to pursue careers in athletics. We envision the sports academy eventually producing some of the country’s best athletes,” dagdag pa nito.
