Got to believe in the magic of a drug-free world.
International balladeer David Pomeranz will help the newly created
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in its campaign against
illegal drugs.
Pomeranz, a frequent visitor in Manila who planed in recently to
promote his new album, is a key member of NARCONON International, a
non-profit, anti-drug corporation based in the United States and
Australia.
Pomeranz is best known for the songs "Got to Believe in Magic," which
version by the local band Side A was used for the Rico Yan-Claudine
Barretto movie of the same title, and "King and Queen of Hearts" from
the movie "Zapped." His recent singles include "Born for You" and
"Undying Admiration."
PDEA chief Director Anselmo Avenido said NARCONON, through its
rehabilitation programs, is helping thousands of people of different
races "regain their ability to think and achieve their goals in life
without drugs."
Avenido said NARCONON has been saving lives and educating youths on
the hazards of drug abuse for over 30 years now.
Robert Anderson of Colorado, USA, and Churlya Wurfel of New South
Wales, Australia, representatives of NARCONON International, visited
the PDEA national office at Camp Crame in Quezon City recently.
They pledged to give the PDEA 20 million copies of their book entitled
"The Way to Happiness" and a handout entitled "10 Things Your Friends
May Not Know About Drugs" for distribution nationwide.
They invited PDEA representatives to visit their facilities in
Oklahoma City, USA, to enhance PDEA’s program on drug prevention
education.
Avenido said NARCONON selected the Philippines as one of its pilot
areas in Asia for its latest concept on drug prevention education and
rehabilitation.
At present, the international anti-drug group is looking for a site
where it could build their office and rehabilitation center.
