TRC–Zamboanga City Reaches 830 Senior High Students in Anti-Drug and Moral Values Campaign
ZAMBOANGA CITY — The Treatment and Rehabilitation Center–Zamboanga City (TRC-ZC), led by the Chief of Hospital Dr. Liza Leslie I. Rojas, continues to strengthen its mission of empowering the youth toward a brighter and drug-free future. On October 21, 2025, TRC-ZC successfully conducted its Advocacy Campaign on the Ill Effects of Drug Abuse and Moral Values Information, in partnership with the Department of Education–Zamboanga City Division Office.
A total of 830 Senior High School students from Recodo National High School, Tulungatung National High School, Maria Clara Lorenzo Lobregat National High School, and Don Pablo Lorenzo Memorial High School–Stand Alone actively participated in the campaign. The discussions were deeply engaging, as students listened intently and eagerly took part in reflections and activities that emphasized both the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of moral values in shaping one’s future.
One of the most heartfelt moments of the event was the “Panata ng Kabataan Kontra Droga,” where students stood united to pledge their commitment to live drug-free and become advocates of positive change within their communities. The collective recitation of the pledge symbolized their hope, determination, and willingness to be part of a movement that upholds life, health, and integrity.
The program concluded with “A Salute to a Change of Heart 💖” — a symbolic gesture performed across the heart, representing sincerity, unity, and hope. This act honored the courage of individuals who chose to rise from struggles to strength, from addiction to recovery. It served as a reminder that transformation is possible and that every small act of change can inspire others to follow the same path toward healing and renewal.
TRC-ZC extends its heartfelt gratitude to the principals, teachers, and students for their active cooperation and warm participation. Their shared enthusiasm reflects a common vision — to nurture a values-driven generation capable of making wise and responsible choices. This meaningful encounter stands as part of TRC-ZC’s continuing advocacy to guide the youth toward a healthier, hopeful, and drug-free tomorrow.
