Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD, Peer Groups Against Drugs)

As an effective peer-based preventive education and information program to counter the dangers and ill effects of drug abuse, the Board has institutionalized the BKD program in order to enlist the participation of more in and out-of school youth, and eventually organize them into a movement of young people who are catalysts within their peer groups in advocating a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

As of this year, there are 50, 277 BKD members from 251 chapters nationwide. The DDB has also launched the “Nationwide Search for the Best BKD Program”.
