MANILA – President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and outgoing Senate President Vicente Sotto III reportedly met to tackle the proposals of the latter to reform drug users.
In a text message Tuesday night, Sotto confirmed that he presented his “Drug Abuse Prevention and Correct Rehabilitation” program to his former Senate colleague who invited him to his office on May 28.
“Consultative would be enough, I suppose. PBBM supports my proposal of giving strong support for drug abuse prevention and rehabilitation,” Sotto said.
Sotto said the program intends to prevent illegal drug abuse through a resistance education program for fifth to seventh graders who are at vulnerable ages.
There will be constant seminars, programs and conferences involving parents, teachers, media, the Church, sports personalities, and the general public, he added.
He noted that a correct drug rehabilitation program must have all types of approaches for each drug dependent, which include therapeutic, faith-based, and multidisciplinary activities, patterned after the United States-based 12-step program Minnesota addiction recovery.
The program website showed that the model was first used in a state mental hospital in the 1950s and focuses first on abstinence from illegal substances.
Every treatment program is customized to match the needs of the patient and address specific addiction issues.
Marcos stated during the campaign period that he would expand drug rehabilitation facilities in the provinces and promised to go after big-time drug dealers.
Sotto, who headed the Dangerous Drugs Board from July 2008 to November 2009, is also known as the author of Republic Act (RA) 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
RA 9165 created the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, the lead agency in preventing, investigating, and combating dangerous drugs and related illegal activities.
