MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Nov. 26 (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. (PIO-Lanao
