The Drug Threat

!
The drug threat is real!

It is a clear and present danger!

Drugs are more devastating than Typhoons

Drugs are more vicious than Terrorism

Drugs are more dangerous than Diseases

Drugs can destroy a Nation

Consider the following. . .

6.7 million Filipinos are drug users. . .

8 out of 1,000 high school students are using drugs. . .

At least 2 persons are arrested every hour for a drug offense. . .

There are 5 transnational and 112 local drug groups operating


in the country. . .

Since 2002, 34 clandestine laboratories were raided and


dismantled, with billions of pesos worth of shabu and
controlled precursors and essential chemicals seized. . .

There are 95 marijuana plantation sites in the country. . .

The illegal drug trade is a Multi-Billion Peso industry, more than


half of the countrys budget. . .

Some protectors and coddlers of drug syndicates are national


and local officials, police and military officers, prosecutors,
judges, media men, etc.

The ALARMING reality:


Drug pushers are lurking in our communities, preying on
our children.
Drug syndicates, being well protected, operate their illegal
activities with impunity.
Drug syndicates, with their vast financial resources, are
expanding their influence.

The signs are ominous. . .

Involvement of some drug law enforcement


officers in illegal drugs. . .

Some drug cases are surprisingly dismissed. . .

Lukewarm

attitude of some national and local officials to the


nations drug problem. . .

Disappearance or non-appearance of some government


witnesses. . .

Creeping narco-politics. Drug traffickers participate and


support candidates in local and national elections.

The NATION is facing a FORMIDABLE enemy!


enemy
Drug syndicates have money.
Drug syndicates have firepower.
Drug syndicates bribe, threaten,
intimidate and kill people.

If not stopped, the drug syndicates will control the


country - politically and economically.
If not stopped, drugs will destroy the Filipino youth. Our
children.
If not stopped, drugs will destroy the Filipino family. Our
families.
If not stopped, drugs will destroy the Filipino nation. Our
people.

DRUG SYNDICATES MUST be STOPPED!

YOU can do SOMETHING:


Dont use drugs. Be drug-free. If there is no User,
there is no Pusher.
Dont be a protector or coddler of drug traffickers.
Dont accept their bribes.
Educate your children about dangers of drug
abuse. Monitor them.
Help the government. Report illegal drug activities.

We only have one country. Our forefathers fought for it with their lives.

Let us protect it. Let us preserve it.

For the sake of our children and the coming generations.

Can the Nation count on you?
