Asian Red Cross humanitarian drug policy
Nine National Societies of Red Cross and Red Crescent from Asia on Saturday signed a consensus aimed at promoting health-based measures to fight drug abuse and clear social stigma tagged to drug takers.
Delegates from the Red Cross and Red Crescent societies in the Philippines, China, Vietnam, Nepal, Bangladesh, Fiji, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand signed the Rome Consensus in Manila after a two-day discussion on advocating a humanitarian approach to tackle drug abuse in the region.
Richard J. Gordon, Chairman and CEO of the Philippine National Red Cross, said the Red Cross can play "a strategic role" in preventing drug abuse by mobilizing its volunteers to provide services that would improve self-worth of individuals that include counseling, youth development, livelihood and reporting of the cases in community.
"We can also advocate with the government to harmonize the policies related to drug use problems based on humanitarian values, " said Gordon, who also sits in the Senate of the Philippines.

Dear Sen. Gordon,
Do you have any plans of addressing the lack of Samaritan Laws in the Philippines?
Are you aware of any bills already filed in this regard?
We currently discussing this issue on the following online forum.
