Visaya visits soon-to-rise Drug Rehabilitation Center in Nueva Ecija

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 11): Visaya visits soon-to-rise Drug Rehabilitation Center in Nueva Ecija

Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Ricardo Visaya visited and inspected the Drug Rehabilitation Center (DRC) which is now ongoing construction at Fort Magsaysay, Palayan City, Nueva Ecija last Nov. 9.

He was welcomed by 7th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Angelito M. De Leon.

The 10-hectare DRC has a 1,200 patient capacity and is a joint project of AFP and Department of Health.

Visaya said the AFP strongly supports the anti-illegal drug campaign by the Duterte administration. The Philippine Army earlier said that it is offering the use of eight more of its military camps as possible treatment and rehabilitation centers for drug dependents and users.

These camps include Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija; Camp Melchor F Dela Cruz in Gamu, Isabela; Camp Capinpin in Tanay, Rizal; Camp Alfredo Santos in Calauag, Quezon; Camp Peralta in Jamindan, Capiz; Camp Kibaritan in Kalilangan, Bukidnon; Camp Lucero in Carmen, North Cotabato; and Camp Paulino Santos in Alamada, North Cotabato.
