A memorandum of agreement and a manifesto of commitment were signed by the local government unit of RT Lim, PDEA-9, DILG-9, and PRO-9 that formalized the collaborative effort to ensure the success of the Balay Silangan Reformation Center. The initiative signifies the dedication of all parties involved in the rehabilitation and reform of individuals struggling with drug dependency.
The program offers interventions like continuing education, health awareness, and various psychological, spiritual, and physical activities. Additionally, livelihood and skills training programs, such as soap making, massage training, basic carpentry, welding, and haircutting, among others, are provided to create employment opportunities for the reformers.
This endeavor marks a crucial step in the rehabilitation of individuals affected by substance abuse. The collaborative effort and commitment expressed by both participants and stakeholders promise a transformative journey towards empowerment, skill development, and societal reintegration.
