In a significant move to reinforce the fight against illegal drugs, officers from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) – Cavite paid a courtesy visit to the office of Congresswoman Lani M. Revilla. Among those present were Paul Andrew Arteche, Roy Castillo, Ronnel Martinez, and Rodel Raman, who met with the congresswoman to discuss collaborative efforts aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of Cavite’s communities.
Congresswoman Revilla warmly welcomed the officers and expressed her full support for PDEA’s initiatives. She emphasized the importance of unified action between national agencies and local government units in addressing the drug problem. “Protecting our people from the dangers of illegal drugs is a shared responsibility. We must work hand in hand to build a safer and healthier community,” she said.
During the meeting, both parties explored strategies to enhance anti-drug operations, including community-based rehabilitation programs, preventive education campaigns, and tighter surveillance in high-risk areas. The congresswoman also highlighted the role of youth empowerment and education in preventing drug abuse, stressing the need for proactive engagement at the barangay level.
The visit served as a platform to reaffirm the commitment of both PDEA and the local government to a drug-free Cavite. It also opened doors for future joint initiatives that will involve not only law enforcement but also civil society and grassroots organizations.
