This edition of VOX POPULI is featuring the netizens’ reactions, responses and comments to the statement posted on the FB page of the Managing Editor of The Bohol Tribune regarding the problem on ILLEGAL DRUGS.
The statement was: “Bilib gyud ko sa usa ka artista kay siya mismo ang nagpa REHAB sa iyang anak nga nagamit ug ginadili nga druga. Ang uban?” (I really admire what one movie actress did. She was the one who personally reported her drug-addicted son to the authorities for rehabilation services.)
The responses, comments and reactions posted by the netizens were:
∙ from Dr. Ria Maslog: Dapat man jud i acknowledge nga naa problem oara ma solution an unya dako help if the family will support the rehab No denial is the key
