AMADEO, Cavite — Students from several schools in this upland town in Cavite province were gathered for a lecture on the evils of vices like smoking, alcohol, and illegal drugs in a two-day seminar here over the weekend.

The municipal government of Amadeo and the Amadeo Police Station jointly held the so-called Anti-SAD (Sigarilyo, Alak, at Droga) campaign workshop at the Total Care Institute in Barangay May Mangga here on Sept. 1-2.

“Ang proyektong ito ay upang pag-ibayuhin ang kaalaman ng mga kabataan sa masamang maidudulot ng bisyong sigarilyo, alak, at droga sa ating katawan at isipan (This project aims to further educate the youth on the ill effects of smoking, alcohol, and illegal drugs on one’s body and mind),” Amadeo Mayor Conrado “Rading” Viado said.

The campaign cum seminar-workshop gathered coeds from the town’s Amadeo National High School, Pangil National High School, Talon National High School, Halang Banay Banay National High School, and Amadeo Western Cavite Institute.

Amadeo Sangguniang Kabataan Federation President Sergio Garcia helped bring in the students and led the youth council activities in cooperation with the Amadeo local government, Liga ng Barangay, Amadeo Ministerial Council, Department of Education, Department of Social Welfare and Development, and the Total Care Institute. (Dennis Abrina/PNA)
