MANILA, Philippines – Senator Christopher 'Bong' Go has filed Senate Bill No. 2115, which aims to institutionalize a technical-vocational education and training (TVET) and livelihood program designed specifically for rehabilitated drug dependents. Go noted that the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 recognizes the need for sustainable programs for the treatment and rehabilitation of individuals who have fallen victim to drug abuse or dangerous drug dependence. He noted that the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has implemented 'aftercare and follow-up programs' aimed at providing skills training and ensuring the long-term recovery of drug dependents.
