ILOILO City – Over 700 cycling enthusiasts participated in the second “Sikad Kontra Droga” of the Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) on Saturday.
The event, which rallied public support for the police’s campaign against illegal drugs, was “a resounding success,” said Senior Inspector Shella Mae Sangrines, ICPO spokesperson. Bikers and policemen from other provinces in the region also joined, she revealed.
The 29-kilometer “fun cycling” started early in the morning at Plaza Libertad in the City Proper and ended at the public plaza of La Paz district.
The first “Sikad Kontra Droga” was held on Dec. 11, 2016.
Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog also joined Saturday’s activity together with officials of barangays and government agencies.
President Rodrigo Duterte branded Iloilo “most shabu-lized” and a “bed rock of illegal drugs” but the city government is trying to fight this negative perception.
“Here in Iloilo City, we have not been negligent. Our campaign against drug trafficking is nonstop. For one year, todo-todo ang kampanya naton bangod sa aton pagsuporta, pagsabat sa panawagan sang Presidente,” said Mabilog.
Aside from supporting the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and the police logistically, the mayor said, the city government also established drug rehabilitation centers and designed livelihood and skills training programs for drug surrenderers./PN
