Ping Lacson Pushes ‘Teacher’ Role for Cops in Guiding Youths Away from Drugs

Former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson speaks before officials of Gen. Trias City in Cavite during an anti-drug seminar in Tagaytay City on Tuesday. Lacson pushed a ‘teacher’ role for police in guiding youths away from drugs.

TAGAYTAY CITY – Former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson wants the Philippine National Police (PNP) to play not just the role of enforcers against illegal drugs, but also “teachers” in keeping youths away from the menace.

Speaking at a seminar on the drug menace here Tuesday, Lacson said this is similar to the Philippine Drug Abuse Resistance Education (PhilDARE) program he undertook as PNP Chief during the Estrada administration.

“We can train our police to work closer with the community, teachers and schools. They can explain to our youths the whys and hows of staying away from illegal drugs,” Lacson said in Filipino.

Ping: Pagpapalakas sa Foreign Liaisons, Kailangan sa Giyera vs Ilegal na Droga

Isang solusyon para masugpo ang ilegal na droga sa bansa ay ang pagpapalakas sa ating foreign liaisons.

Para kay Senador Ping Lacson, ito ang formula na kanyang ginamit noon kung saan nakipag-ugnayan sya sa ibang bansa para mapigilan ang pagpasok ng ilegal na droga sa bansa.

“Lahat na bansa kinakausap namin. Part yan ng prevention, market constriction effort,” ani Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa TeleRadyo.
