Drug abuse is a problem that has existed for a very long time. Experts have recommended and put into action several strategies to lessen and ameliorate, if not completely eradicate, the negative impacts of drug usage on society's culture and general well-being. Education on drug prevention is one such method.

Awareness about illegal Drugs campaign is a program that attempts to support the anti-drug abuse crusade by educating the public about the scope of the drug problem in the nation, the Drug enforcement group (DEG) efforts to address the issue, the causes and consequences of drugs, and the most recent youth prevention measures. Now, the word "drug" carries a new meaning. Its original meaning was "medicine." However, in modern times, it also refers to lethal drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, and many other substances. Addicts' bodies and minds are negatively affected by all of these narcotics. The worst victims of drug addiction's injustices are the younger generation.

According to the speaker, only a small number of people used illicit substances, mainly marijuana. RA 6465 was subsequently put into effect to codify the legislation against illicit narcotics. But regrettably, as time went on, drug-related crimes rose, so they made improvements with RA 9165. Additionally, the speaker displayed some images depicting how illicit substances affect the human body more especially, the brain. As he presented the audience about illicit substances and urged them not to use them through his presentation.
Lastly, PLt. Arwin Untulan Perez, cited different tips on how to prevent crimes and the actions to do in case of emergency. Although it was a quite question and answer with the students, he educated the students well on what are happening in reality so that they can be aware and avoid experiencing it.

By using straightforward, understandable information on the negative effects of illicit substances, the anti-drug abuse campaign aims to create a welcoming and pleasant learning environment for us.
