Biography
I am Carmelo, I am a drug advocate and I have the passion to create a drug-free community. I am living in a slum area where drug is rampant and it motivated me to take part to be a catalyst towards positive transformation in my beloved country, the Philippines. My country is renowned for its hospitable and joyful people, however when President Rodrido Duterte elected as the head of the state there was a huge change, there were plenty of unsolved cases of extra-judicial killings correlated to drug addiction. I am teaching in the Alternative Learning System for almost 7 years, which composed of the out-of-school youth and adult. I am empowered to influence my fellow youth. I am also serving in different jails teaching inmates and encouraging them that they too can still make a difference.
