MABALACAT CITY -- Mayor Crisostomo Garbo has underscored the vital role of the Barangay Anti-Drugs Abuse Council (Badac) in the government’s war against prohibited drugs.
In a workshop on Wednesday, December 13, the city mayor said that barangay officials are the frontliners and get all information regarding drug operations and personalities.
Barangay officials serve as the government’s eyes and ears, according to Garbo. “Kayo ang nagsisilbing mata at tainga ng pamahalaan.”
