TheNational Drug Education Program, accompanied by Barkada Kontra Droga officers with the guidance of Sir Ralph Santillan, educated CNHS’ STE students with their symposium last November 17, 2022. The program brought knowledge about substance and drug abuse, sexual education, and mental health with their designated speakers from NDEP.

The event was hosted by Sir Ernesto Manalo, with Sir Romelito T. Lugtu kick-starting the event with opening remarks; followed by Nurse Hala Bartolome to educate students about substance and drug abuse.

Nurse Narissa Sy followed after, with informative slides about sexual health and education. Shortly after, Nurse Arthur Sotto came about to bring knowledge about mental health. Creative activities were conducted during the event, one being the balloon event in which students blow their problems into balloons.
