Gov. Edgar Chatto met with Nestor Pestelos on the proposed community-based approach to illegal drugs demand reduction and recovery. Pestelos introduced to the governor drug addiction professional Miriam Cue, also a Bol-anon from Baclayon.
Cue, chairperson of the Professional Regulatory Board of Psychology, along with Jerry Joseph Valderama from the New Day Recovery Center in Davao also met with the Technical Working Group of the Provincial Government to discuss how the proposed strategy will be integrated into the comprehensive anti-illegal drug campaign.
Bohol currently holds the highest record of surrenderers in the anti-illegal drug campaign in the region and among most immediate provincial local government initiatives to ensure recovery of surrenderers are the establishment of a Center for Drug Education and Counseling, a bootcamp, and the establishment of a drug rehabilitation center alongside national government plans to make use of AFP facilities in the management and reintegration of surrenderers.
