Marikina eyes expansion of drug rehab center

THE huge number of drug users and pushers who have turned themselves in to the police has prompted Marikina City to plan the expansion of rehabilitation centers, Mayor Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro said on Monday.

“I’ve met congressman BF [Bayani Fernando] the past few days and we’ve talked about the expansion of our rehabilitation center in Marikina Heights. We will renovate it and will add more rooms for the growing number of drug dependents,” Teodoro told The Manila Times in an interview.
