The Local Government Unit of San Mateo - Anti-Drug Abuse Council conducted a Symposium on EMPOWERING DRUG-FREE COMMUNITY for Grade 10 students today, February 16, 2026, through room-to-room visits.

This meaningful initiative brings awareness closer to learners, reminding them that every decision they make shapes their future and their role in building a safe and responsible community.

This activity was made possible through the guidance of MAPEH Coordinator, Yetyet A Lopez , the active members of Barkada Kontra Droga and their adviser Yhanie Torres , with the full support of teachers and School Principal, Walter Cristobal .

Together, we guide our learners to stand firm, say no to drugs, and become empowered individuals, leaders who inspire others and champions of positive change.
