The SUBIDA Program is an initiative that aims to educate, inspire, and empower the youth to become aware of the consequences of drug abuse and criminal activities, while encouraging them to take an active role as partners of the government in preventing and combating crime and illegal drugs. Through information-driven discussions and youth-centered engagement, the program seeks to shape a generation that is informed, responsible, and determined to safeguard their future and their community.
Key speakers from various government agencies shared valuable insights during the activity, including MADAC Malungon, headed by Mr. Dolar Yen Son, PESO Malungon represented by Ms. Ana Marie Lausa Awana, and the PNP Malungon, led by PSSG Jaymark Pantalita . Each speaker emphasized the importance of early awareness, discipline, and collective action in building a safe, drug-free, and progressive society.
Showing full support to the initiative, Punong Barangay Hon. Helen A. Aradanas expressed her strong commitment to the program and highlighted in her message the vital role of empowering the youth, recognizing them as the future leaders of the next generation. She also expressed that awareness today leads to responsible leadership tomorrow, and that investing in the youth is the strongest foundation for long-term peace, development, and community resilience.
The successful launch of the SUBIDA Program in Barangay Malandag reflects the united effort of the MLGU, barangay leadership, schools, and partner agencies in shaping a safer and brighter future,one youth at a time.
