To further emphasize the crucial role of barangays as the government's frontrunner in the campaign versus illegal drugs, DILG Bataan conducted the province-wide activity entitled "Strengthening Institutional Capacities of Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Councils" (SICAP-BADAC) on March 13, 2023 via Zoom online platform.


The said training served as a reorientation on the composition, duties, and responsibilities of BADAC members in the 237 barangays of Bataan as discussed by LGOO II Mark Angelo Pumares. During the lecture, the significant role of BADACs as the "eyes and ears" of the community in reporting drug-related activities was also underscored.


Moreover, LGOO V Joanna Marie Cruz presented in detail the result of the latest BADAC functionality assessment. She then gave a refresher on the indicators of the said audit and encouraged the participants to be with DILG Bataan in achieving more number of BADACs with high functionality rating.


PDEA Regional Officer 3 PIO Glenn Guillermo, meanwhile, talked about the drug-cleared status of Bataan and the government's effort to sustain it. Further, PIO Guillermo discussed the Dangerous Drugs Board Regulation No. 13, Series of 2018 which is about the establishment and institutionalization of drug-free workplace policies, including the conduct of authorized drug testing for elective local officials and appointive public officers.


DILG Bataan believes that such activity will help BADACs to more effectively address the drug problem in their community through strategic planning, stronger coordination and grassroots-level involvement.
