QC council’s pioneering anti-drug code poised to become benchmark for LGU’s

Amid continuing efforts to rid the country of drug abuse and criminality, the Quezon City council led by Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte has completed the country’s first comprehensive anti-drug code that aspires to serve as a benchmark that other local government units (LGUs) can replicate.

“This will be the first drug code in the country, and we are happy to work with different national government agencies and the Quezon City Police District on this. We want to make sure that this drug code is consistent with the national laws and policies,” said Belmonte in a recent council forum on the code.
