MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA) --- To support the intensified anti-drug campaign of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Lanao del Sur, the provincial governor ordered the display of tarpaulins saying “no to illegal drugs which are considered haram or forbidden” in conspicuous areas in Marawi City and some municipalities.

The tarpaulins also contain the MILF resolution, attested by Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, which states the banning of the “use and sale of shabu or methamphetamine in the Bangsamoro and neighbouring areas.”

The resolution further says, “the MILF shall take appropriate action to any person, Bangsamoro or non-Bangsamoro, found guilty of using shabu and those found beyond reasonable doubt of drug-pushing or being engaged in the sale and proliferation of shabu.”

The resolution was made by the MILF Central Committee adopted during its special session at Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao on October 21, 2015.

“Illegal drugs and substances should be banned from any place because they destroy a community,” said Provincial Governor Mamintal “Bombit” Alonto Adiong Jr. Adiong.
 
He said illegal drugs are the cause of majority of the crimes committed in the country.

“It is our duty to support anti-drug campaigns of the government, individuals, and organizations, and to also ensure that the law of this nation is first and foremost upheld,” he added.
