Banna Youth Joins Nationwide Fight Against Drug Abuse at IDADAIT 2025

In a unified show of commitment to a drug-free future, the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) and Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK) of Banna proudly participated in the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (IDADAIT) celebration held today, June 26, 2025, at the Imelda Cultural Center in the City of Batac, Ilocos Norte.

This annual observance aims to strengthen global and local cooperation in addressing the persistent challenges posed by drug abuse. The centerpiece of this year’s celebration was the Parade of Youth Advocates Against Drugs (PYAAD) — a vibrant and symbolic march that showcased the resolve of young leaders to stand against substance abuse and lead their communities toward healthier, drug-free lives.

The IDADAIT 2025 celebration in Ilocos Norte is a collaborative initiative of the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB), the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte, and various national and local agencies including the Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine National Police (PNP), Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), participating municipal local government units (LGUs), and other stakeholders.

The youth of Banna, through their active participation, underscored their vital role in promoting awareness, prevention, and rehabilitation. They joined fellow youth leaders from across the province in advocating for strong, community-based solutions and policies that address drug-related issues.

Municipal Mayor Hon. Mary Chrislyn Abadilla expressed her full support for the Banna youth delegation, commending their initiative and commitment to national development. She emphasized the crucial role of young leaders in building a drug-free society and reaffirmed the LGU’s continued backing of programs that empower the youth and promote public health and safety.

This annual observance serves not only as a call to action but also as a platform to foster collaboration, empower the youth, and inspire every Filipino to contribute to the vision of a drug-free nation.

Through efforts like this, the Municipality of Banna continues to support national advocacy campaigns and empowers its youth to become catalysts of change and protectors of public health and safety.
