BADAC Caticlan

Earlier today, October 9, 2025, at around 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon, the Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council (BADAC) of Barangay Caticlan conducted a Livelihood Assistance Distribution for Persons Who Used Drugs (PWUDs) at the Barangay Caticlan Multi-Purpose Hall Session Room. The activity aimed to support the rehabilitation and reintegration of PWUDs into the community by providing them with livelihood assistance that could help sustain their families and promote their continuous recovery.
Through the leadership and effort of Punong Barangay Ralf A. Tolosa, each PWUD beneficiary received 50 kilograms of rice as part of the barangay’s livelihood assistance program. The distribution was also attended by members of the Sangguniang Barangay, who actively participated in the event and extended their encouragement and support to the beneficiaries.

The activity was successful and meaningful. It demonstrated the commitment of Barangay Caticlan, through the BADAC, to promote rehabilitation, livelihood, and reintegration programs for PWUDs.

The event also reflected the barangay’s strong partnership and unified effort of Barangay Council in supporting the national campaign against illegal drugs while providing hope and opportunity for transformation within the community.

The Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council (BADAC) of Caticlan headed by our supportive Barangay Chairman Ralf A. Tolosa successfully conducted its Orientation and Symposium last August 14, 2025, at the Barangay Hall Session Room, attended by BADAC members and Barangay Council. Our esteemed resource speakers shared valuable insights to strengthen our fight against illegal drugs: PDEA Intelligence Officer IO 1 Florraine B. Zausa provided in-depth knowledge on the legal consequences of selling, trading, and using illegal drugs; Dr. Athena C. Magdamit challenged all members to be committed to intelligence monitoring in their respective areas; and PEMS Ernesto T. Lomeda gave clear instructions on the proper functionality and roles of BADAC. The event was well attended and marked by active participation, reflecting our community’s unity and determination to uphold a safe, peaceful, and drug-free Barangay Caticlan.
