"HUWAD NA GINHAWA"

Ang pelikulang ito ay isang madamdaming pagsilip sa buhay nina Angel, Stephen, at Adrian—tatlong kabataang naligaw ang landas sa paghahanap ng pansamantalang ginhawa sa droga. Sa likod ng kanilang mga ngiti sa paaralan at tahanan ay ang mga lihim na laban — ang bigat ng papel at mataas na ekspektasyon sa pag-aaral, ang kawalan ng atensyon mula sa magulang, at ang huwad na saya na hatid ng masasamang impluwensya.

Masasaksihan ang unti-unting paglamon ng bisyo sa kanilang pagkatao hanggang sa hindi na nila makilala ang kanilang mga sarili. Ngunit sa huli, matutunghayan ang kanilang pagbangon na magsisimula sa isang matapang na desisyon — ang piliin ang tunay na kalayaan, tanggapin ang tulong ng mga tunay na kaibigan at pamilya, at muling buoin ang sarili mula sa pagkakaanod sa dilim.

LOOK I The Department of the Interior and Local Government Region 5 proudly presents the 2026 Youth’s Choice Advocacy Contest - Digital Information Materials.

Through exceptional creativity, innovative ideas, and commitment to advocacy, Junior High School Students across the Bicol Region have demonstrated how digital platforms can serve as powerful tools for education and awareness. By promoting drug prevention through responsible decision-making and highlighting the value of living a drug-free life, their works will significantly contribute to nurturing well-informed, responsible, and resilient individuals.

Among these impactful materials is the creation of Janne Elise G. Asiao, advocating how young minds can make powerful choices as they navigate challenges faced by our youth today:

"Ipinapakita ng infograpikong ito ang desisyong kinakaharap ng kabataan sa tanong na “Should I try drugs?” Sa pamamagitan ng isang decision flow na hango sa karanasan ng estudyante at sinusuportahan ng datos, ipinapakita nito na ang bawat pagpili ay may epekto sa direksyon ng buhay at hinihikayat ang kabataan na pumili ng isang drug-free na kinabukasan."

Alongside this are the informative digital creations of Harold Brent C. Calo and Tristan Jake V. Balictar.

As we observe this year’s International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (IDADAIT) through a week-long advocacy campaign, these digital advocacy resources further emphasize the vital role of youth participation in strengthening education and reinforcing the importance of collective efforts in the national campaign against illegal drugs.

With continued collaboration among its partners, the DILG remains committed to empowering young people to act as catalysts toward building a safer, healthier, and drug-free Bicol Region.
