In line with the celebration of the 122nd Philippine Civil Service Anniversary, NAMRIA, in partnership with the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) and the barangay council of Barangay 826, Zone 89, District V of the City of Manila (Barangay 826), conducted an information campaign on drug awareness. The activity, attended by residents of the said barangay, was held at the social hall of the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Peñafrancia (ASOLP), Paco, Manila on 22 September 2022.
 
The activity started with the opening remarks of Atty. Erwin B. Bellen, Chief of the NAMRIA Legal Office. He spoke on behalf of NAMRIA Administrator, Usec. Peter N. Tiangco, PhD. Attorney Bellen thanked the participants for attending the activity and discussed its objective, which was to provide information on the dangers of drug misuse and how to treat and rehabilitate those who got addicted to it.
 
The respective lectures of Atty. Daniel A. Adeva III and Dr. Susan P. Gregorio of the DDB then followed. Attorney Adeva discussed the salient features of Republic Act (RA) number 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

An open forum was held after the lectures.

He said, “Sa dami ng barangay sa Maynila, mapalad ako dahil tayo ang napili para pagdausan ng ganitong napakahalagang aktibidad.”
