NEGROS ORIENTAL, March 5 (PIA) -- Philippine Army troopers of the 302nd Infantry Brigade (IB) continue to visit schools to advise students to avoid illegal drugs and stay away from terrorism.
The ‘Achiever Troopers’ led by Brigade Commander Col. Noel Baluyan of the 302nd IB cautioned the nearly 500 students including teachers of Diaz College in Tanjay City against the harmful effects of illegal drugs and terrorism.
The Anti-Illegal Drugs and Anti-Terrorism symposium held Tuesday was conducted through the Tanjay City Advisory Council.
It aimed to heighten awareness on the current situation of illegal drugs and orient the students on the insurgent exploitation and other destructive influence/activities of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army- National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).

According to Capt. Khadaffy Tawantawan, information officer designate of 302nd IB, the activity intends to isolate the youth from the deceptive recruitment strategy of the communist terrorist groups.
This is also to enable the students to make the right choices and encourage more open communication between parents and children, said Tawantawan.
He warned students about the recruitment activities being done by CPP-NPA in schools.
Baluyan also encouraged the students to help the government in ending the insurgency.
“I urge you, as students and youth of this country, to be vigilant and be discerning in joining organizations in your school. This is because the CPP-NPA-NDF has mastered the art of deception," he said.
The Philippine Army official asked the students to be wary of the organizations they are joining since some will only deceive them by filling their minds with hatred and violence.
He also encouraged the students to support Executive Order No. 70 and be part of the country's journey towards achieving genuine peace and development. (jct/PIA7 Negros Oriental)
