IN PHOTOS | KNP Supports PNP’s KKDAT Advocacy

Recognizing the vital role of students in building a drug-free and peaceful community, Kolehiyo ng Pantukan (KNP) has expressed its strong support for the Kabataan Kontra Droga at Terorismo (KKDAT) program of the Philippine National Police (PNP) through KKDAT launching and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing, held at KNP Audiovisual Room.

With the theme “Sa Bagong Pilipinas, Gusto ng Pulis Ligtas Ka,” the program aimed to empower the youth by shielding them from the threats of illegal drugs and criminality. At KNP, this advocacy strongly aligns with the institution’s mission of molding responsible, disciplined, and nation-building students.

In line with the initiative, Police Lieutenant Col. Ranel B. Marquizo stressed that collaboration between the local government unit, local agencies, and the citizens to combat illegal drugs is highly important to eradicate this societal problem.

"Drugs is non-negotiable talaga sa mga objectives natin, because we know kung ano ang epekto nito sa mga kabataan," said Col. Marquizo as he emphasized the dangers of illegal drugs to the citizens of Pantukan, especially the youths.

In the same vein, Hon. Oliver D. Ceniza, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, also expressed a strong stance, stating that for him, drugs and other illegal matters are non-negotiable. He further stressed the importance of upholding a drug-free environment, especially for the younger generation, in ensuring the safety and progress of the community.

Meanwhile, this mutual understanding between KNP and the PNP would not have been possible without the vision and support of the Acting College President, Dr. Mary Ann R. Araula and the Board of Trustees Chairman, Hon. Oliver D. Ceniza, together with the local police department.

‎Moreover, the said mass officiated by Rev. Father Ian Balistoy provided homilies that offer guidance and inspiration for students as well as fostering a sense of unity among learners, teachers, and staff.

‎Furthermore, this event would not be made possible without the unwavering support of Acting College President of KNP, Dr. Mary Ann R. Araula, together with the active BOT Chairman Mayor Hon. Oliver 'Kuya Noy' D. Ceniza—who gave their unconditional assistance and guidance for the institution.
