The initial batch of drug personality-surrenderees
consist of 375 individuals. The police authorities refer drug personalities to
either pushers or users.
Dumalinao Mayor Junaflor Cerilles told the Philippines
News Agency that most of the drug personalities who surrendered are farmers.
Cerilles said they will undergo workshop as part of their
rehabilitation process before they will be employed to render community
service.
The community service included tree and mangrove
planting, garbage collection and clean-up activities.
Cerilles said those aged 35 and below will be absorbed
under her program intended for the students dubbed as “Go Greem Dumalinao.”
She said the program is her immediate and outright
response to provide assistance to the drug surrenderees to enable them to start
a new life.
Chief Insp. Lee Eric Humpa, Dumalinao police chief, said
they will have to undergo rehabilitation for six months before they would be
accommodated into the livelihood program.
Humpa warned the drug personalities that legal actions
will be taken against them if they will not support efforts to resolving the
problems on the proliferation of prohibited drugs in the municipality of
Dumalinao. (PNA)
