On November 19, 2025, the Outpatient Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Center proudly celebrated Drug Abuse Prevention and Control (DAPC) Week, carrying this yearโ€™s theme: โ€œSa Bagong Pilipinas, kalusugan ay pinapahalagahan, droga ay inaayawan.โ€ The event was filled with meaningful activities that brought together Persons Who Use Drugs (PWUDs), families, partners, and community stakeholders in support of rehabilitation and wellness.

The morning session welcomed Non-PDLs and their families, beginning with warm opening remarks from Dr. Wilson S. Tibayan, ODTRC Center Psychiatrist. The session concluded with closing remarks from Dr. Shelly M. Aral, MO IV and DPCC Head, who emphasized the centerโ€™s ongoing commitment to recovery and support.

In the afternoon, the center hosted Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs). Dr. Clarette Rosario P. Dy, ODTRC Department Head, opened the session with an encouraging message, followed once again by closing remarks from Dr. Aral, reinforcing the importance of sustained rehabilitation efforts.

Both sessions featured insightful lectures, including a comprehensive discussion by Atty. George Henry A. Manipon of CHR-CAR on the legal basis, process, and compliance of outpatient rehabilitation and aftercare. Representatives from the Baguio City Parole and Probation Office, PPO II Anniebeth T. Gomez and PPO I Kimberly O. Lopez, shared essential information on probation eligibility, rules, and responsibilities. Ronald A. Alo also provided guidance on PhilHealth membership and the YAKAP Program, with PhilHealth offering on-site assistance through a dedicated help desk.

The event also included a PSA registration booth and a product showcase from the Baguio City Jails and La Trinidad Jails, highlighting items crafted by Persons Deprived of Liberty. To conclude the sessions, hygiene kits from the Mental Health Program of the DOH-CHD-CAR were distributed to all lecture participants as a gesture of care and support.

As part of the week-long DAPC celebration, the Center also held a lucky draw, giving away various tokens to patients as a simple yet joyful way of motivating participation and celebrating their ongoing journey to recovery.

The celebration embodied the DAPC theme, promoting a healthier, drug-free nation while reinforcing ODTRCโ€™s commitment to rehabilitation, recovery, and community reintegration, continuing the mission of hope, healing, and second chances.

The Drug Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Center โ€“ Mountain Province (DATRC-MP) visited the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center โ€“ Outpatient Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Center (BGHMC-ODTRC) for a benchmarking activity from September 30 to October 2, 2025.

Empowering Change Through Group Therapy:

The Outpatient Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Center (ODTRC) once again collaborated with the Cordillera State Institute of Technical Education (formerly TESDA) to conduct a dynamic, hands-on pastry-making training for Aftercare Patients. The activity kicked off with inspiring opening remarks from Center Psychiatrist Dr. Wilson Tibayan, who expressed heartfelt thanks to CSITE for accommodating the Centerโ€™s request to help enhance the skills, confidence, and reintegration readiness of the participants.

Ms. Vilma Tolarba followed with an engaging overview of CSITEโ€™s various technical programs that PWUDs may pursue in the future. The highlight of the day was a cream puff-making session led by CSITE trainers Ms. Diana Basinga and Ms. Angelica Bless Barroga. Guided every step of the way, patients proudly prepared their pastries, which Dr. Tibayan later taste-testedโ€”commending each group for their flavourful and well-crafted creations.

The event also marked the celebration of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (IDADAIT), carrying the theme: โ€œThe evidence is clear: invest in prevention, break the cycleโ€โ€”a powerful reminder for patients to stay committed to recovery and break free from the cycle of organized crime.
