Bilang huling bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng Drug Abuse Prevention and Control (DAPC) Week 2025, magsasagawa ang Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) at Pamahalaang Lungsod ng Mandaluyong ng aktibidad na “Bida sa Lakad Kontra Droga” sa 23 Nobyembre 2025 (Linggo).

Nakaugat sa temang “Sa Bagong Pilipinas, Kalusugan ay Pinapahalagahan, Droga ay Inaayawan,” layunin ng aktibidad na ipakita ang pagkakaisa ng pamahalaan at komunidad sa pagtataguyod ng kalusugan, kaayusan, at pag-iwas sa ilegal na droga. Ang lakad ay nagsisilbing simbolo ng sama-samang hakbang tungo sa mas ligtas at mas maayos na bukas para sa mga pamilya at pamayanan.

Sa pamamagitan ng pagsasamang ito, muling pinagtitibay ng Mandaluyong at ng DDB ang kanilang pangako na patuloy na palakasin ang mga programang pang-prebensyon at suportahan ang mga inisyatibong nagbibigay-proteksyon sa kabataan at buong komunidad.

Habang tinatapos ang pagdiriwang ng DAPC Week 2025, ang “Bida sa Lakad Kontra Droga” ay nagsisilbing paalala na ang tagumpay sa laban kontra droga ay nakasalalay sa pagkilos ng bawat isa, mula sa pamahalaan hanggang sa pinakamaliit na sektor ng lipunan, para sa isang mas ligtas, malusog, at mas matatag na Bagong Pilipinas.
