Police Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido declares Ozamiz as near Zero Drug Activity City in the South!


New Police Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido declares that Ozamiz City is a near – 0 – drug free activity in the 
whole of Misamis Occidental.  Out of the 10 drug test buy activity conducted, only 2 of it held illegal drugs 
and it is not clear whether the source is from the city itself or from another location.



Transferred from Albuera, Leyte last 2016, Police Chief Inspector Espenido is glad to find the local government
open to discussions on drug bust activities in the city.  After being tagged as the new drug-buster of Leyte, 
Espenido is now faced with clearing the name of Ozamiz City as an active drug activity place in Mindanao.  
From the latest  regular session meet last January 16, 2017 held at the city hall of Ozamiz, he was invited 
to present his assessment on the latest drug activity in the city.  For him, this open door policy exhibited 
by the local government is a positive sign for him to create a good relationship with the local government 
and the police force.

Based on his assessment report presented to the local government, the drug activity of the place is quite 
minimal compared to the perception of those non-residents of the said city.  His is quite positive that this 
present trend will lead from minimal to 0-drug related activity in a couple of years since the local government
is in full support in eradicating all illegal drug activity in their city.



From the side of the local government, they are quite pleased with the assessment report presented by the new
police chief inspector and shall continue to maintain an open door discussion with the police force to help 
eliminate the false assumption held by those who has initially believed in the high drug activity in the city.

This latest development between the police force and the local government is a clear sign of a hand-in-hand
cooperation and relationship in fighting all illegal drug activity in the area of Misamis Occidental starting with 
Ozamiz City.

Collaborative partnerships for climate resilience

The Philippines tops the list of countries with the highest disaster risk, thus building our capacity to respond, bounce back and adapt to intensifying climate impacts is a nationwide priority and shared responsibility. “Any program that aims to build climate resilience requires strong partnerships and working together across all sectors,” said World-Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-PH) Executive Director, Katherine Custodio at the breakout session of the 7 th  Annual Conference of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities – Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Conference and Student Symposium 2024 (APRU-SCL 2024).  “There is definite opportunity for platforms or networks to come together and bring to life our national policies and our commitments, but for these to succeed, there needs to be sincere effort and openness to work across different sectors and disciplines,” said Custodio. The session on creating connections and partnerships was hosted by Jonas Marie Dumdum, Sen...
