Bayog,
Zamboanga del Sur, 23 Nov (PIA) – The Dangerous Drugs Board
(DDB) in collaboration with the Philippine Normal University Research Center
and concerned agencies in the different cities, municipalities and barangays in
the Philippines is now conducting the 2012 Nationwide Survey on the Current
Nature and Extent of Drug Abuse.
With this development, some personnel of DDB composed
of Corazon Mamigo, Gina Pecson and Marrianne Belga arrived in Bayog for the
said activity. Prior to the survey, a briefing with selected local enumerators
was conducted at the Mayor’s office last
Tuesday, November 20, 2012.
During the briefing, Mamigo emphasized that samplings
were randomly selected where respondents must come from the two most populated
barangays in rural and urban barangays of a province, municipality or city.
She said among the municipalities in Zamboanga del Sur,
Bayog and Lakewood were randomly selected for the conduct of said survey.
The two most populated barangays in Bayog are Poblacion
and Kahayagan.
Immediately after the briefing, the enumerators started
their task. Only 42 respondents were required in every barangay, after which,
DDB personnel will do the consolidation of the survey results. (ALT/BAG/CAL/PIA9).
