The (KKDAT) Platform is to give seminars to the youths of the barangay to get the attention of many young people to avoid illegal activities and change into youth gatherings with a vision for the future of the youths. In this research study, I would like to make the youth of illegal drug abuse in the community aware of the punishment they face if they regulate the law. The Barangay Commonwealth has a protocol against youth abuse using drugs. One reason we do this study is to give knowledge that the drug issue is one of the problems of our barangay.
