The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is willing to
allow the use of military camps, especially those with large areas, as
rehabilitation centers for drug users willing to reform.
This was stressed by AFP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto
Padilla in an interview Tuesday.
"As per Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, camps
(which can be use as rehabilitation centers) should have large spaces like Fort Magsaysay
in Palayan, Nueva Ecija, Camp
Capinpin
Padilla earlier said it was looking forward to work closely
with the relevant agencies tasked to treat and rehabilitate illegal drug users.
"We fully support the initiatives of our
Commander-in-Chief to rehab drug users and provide them with a second chance at
life," he said.
"We look forward to working closely with relevant
agencies who are trained and empowered to do this so we can approach and carry
out programs in the most efficient, appropriate and effective manner,"
Padilla added.
