Tanudan youth given seminar on crime, terrorism and illegal drug use prevention

Tanudan, Kalinga – As part of their renewed fight against drugs and terrorism, the youth in this municipality have recently undergone a one-day seminar concerning the prevention of criminality, terrorism, and illegal drugs.

Held at Davidson Hotel, the first batch composed of Chapters 1-5 had their seminar last June 5 and the second batch, Chapter 6 to 10, on October 30.
