A few days ago,I have written an article about teenagers of today and their tendency to rebel and experiment. For a parent like me and a tita of four teens, I would surely want my nephews and nieces, as well as my son when he grows up, to be drug-free teens.
However, if you are a parent of a suspected drug-user, it is okay to despair and lament for a while but you need to be strong and plan how you are going to save your child through an
addiction treatment.
For Marikeños, the good news is that you need not bring your child outside of the Marikina to be treated. The city vice mayor, Dr. Marion Andres, has established and continuously funding a holding center for the rehabilitation of drug dependents living in the city. The Marikina Holding Center houses government doctors and psychiatrists, social workers and religious groups rendering free services for patients’ rehabilitation.
For more questions on their services, please call the Office of the Vice Mayor at 645-6407 or 647-3119 or visit their office at the 2/F Justice Hall, Shoe Avenue, Bgy. Sta. Elena, Marikina City.

Give my congratulations to your Vice Mayor Andres. I have met him once when he was still a councilor.
Regarding the city…I’m just wondering why they have put up a lot of ‘transformer’ images… looks like materials are all coming from junkyards…
Maybe I’m getting old already… but for me…its not a nice image… I know it is another form of art… but maybe it should be placed in just a particular place and not almost everywhere.

hi ric!
i’d make sure to tell him that when i see him. those “transformers” are indeed from junks, they were made from metal scraps from the city engineering and waste management departments. i guess i share the same view with you on this one. if you’ll notice, i really haven’t made any post regarding those robots.
i adore the talent of those who made it but i just don’t see the aesthetic and relevance of putting them all over the city as well.
