GRIM-FACED CRUSADERS

The fight against the menace of drugs has been an uphill climb for the Filipino nation, including the City of Tagum. Much as authorities try, so little has been achieved in terms of really eliminating its risks and ensuring that the people, especially the youth, will not fall prey to its deadly grips.

With the local launching of Mamamayan Ayaw sa Droga (MAD), the City Government, the City Officials and the constituency have made a grim resolve to join forces and pursue the fight against drug abuse and trafficking.
