Barangay officials should include a report on their campaign against criminality, illegal drugs and corruption when they address their constituents on March 25. Interior Secretary Ismael Sueno called on village leaders to provide updates on their anticriminality and corruption drive in the State of Barangay Address (Soba) they are expected to deliver next Saturday. Sueno stressed that the barangay assembly would be the perfect time for officials to update their constituents on such matters and discuss further solutions. Sueno also urged barangay officials to support the department’s antidrug campaign dubbed Masa-Masid or Mamamayang Ayaw sa Anomalya, Mamamayang Ayaw sa Iligal na Droga. The campaign aims to draw volunteers from faith-based or nongovernment organizations and from the community at large, he said.
