Creator of all things, true Source of light and wisdom, lofty origin of all being, graciously let a ray of Your brilliance penetrate into the darkness of my understanding and take from me the double darkness in which I have been born, an obscurity of both sin and ignorance. Give me a sharp sense of understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally. Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations, and the ability to express myself with thoroughness and charm. Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in completion; through Christ our Lord. Amen. St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.

Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 1995 STUDY ENGAGE YOURSELF… Article Analysis A Harvest of Hope By: Eline Santos and Juan Escandor Jr. MILAGROSA, Masbate — With no enclosures or fences girding the sprawling 300-hectare farm in this town in Masbate province, Fazenda da Esperança (Farm of Hope) or Fazenda, could be mistaken for a resort, with its cabana-type quarters surrounded by bushes, trees, flowering plants and a manicured lawn. The serene surroundings, however, conceal the farm‘s real mission—that of putting order and hope into the turbulent lives of people seeking to stop their addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling and sex, and the behavioral problems that come with such vices. Established here in 2003, Fazenda originated from Brazil 33 years ago and was inspired by the Focolare Movement to help drug addicts change their ways through work, spirituality and community. Fazenda has since spread in different parts of the world and reached the Philippines via the Masbate facility. The Focolare Movement, founded by Chiara Lubich in 1943 in Italy as a means to survive World War II, promotes the ideals of unity and brotherhood, the same ideals that bind Fazenda residents. Unlike other rehabilitation facilities, the Catholic Church-run Fazenda does not impose restrictive regulations on its residents who are, however, forbidden from keeping and using mobile phones in the farm. The farm in Masbate started with 352 ha of land donated by a Foccolare priest, Fr. Piereno Rogliardi. Since then, Fazenda has transformed 252 hectares of its land into a community with three houses for males under its program; three houses for missionaries, volunteers and sisters, respectively; a beautiful chapel where Mass is held daily as long as a priest is available; a spacious multipurpose hall for various events and an original milking house where neighbors line up early in the morning to buy Fazenda‘s most popular product: flavored or unflavored cow‘s milk. Suicide attempts Among the 32 Masbate residents in the facility is Brandon (surname withheld to protect his privacy), 37, who had attempted suicide thrice while working in the police force, which he joined after quitting a teaching job. The first suicide try left a bullet scar on his skull while blade scars on his wrists are evidence of earlier suicide attempts. Brandon, who is a step away from finishing his yearlong healing program, recalled becoming an alcoholic, suffering from depression, and being suicidal after his girlfriend left him for another man. The emotional roller-coaster led him to self-destruction. His daily regimen of farm work at Fazenda, however, served as therapy, the rush of activities pushing away negative thoughts and energy. Residents in the facility regularly reflect on Biblical passages and Christian teachings to cultivate the pillar of spirituality, Brandon said. ―I have learned to make God the center of my life, which I believe would always lead me to do good,‖ he added. Residents who have finished the program become facilitators who assist and counsel other residents in their activities and tasks. Among them is Dindo, 50, who manages the production of pasteurized milk and mozzarella cheese processed in the farm. The facility also grows organic vegetables that they sell to sustain operations. Temptation Gian, 33, said his 10-month stay made him resolute to finish his one-year healing program at Fazenda, despite the persistent temptation to back out during his early months as resident. His addiction to ―shabu‖ (methamphetamine hydrochloride) ruined his relationship with his girlfriend and family and burdened his parents, he said, so he decided to enter the facility in June 2016 on his father‘s birthday. Things were initially difficult since he was not used to manual work, mused Gian, who used to have a good-paying job in a multinational corporation before he was fired for negligence. He looks forward to finishing the program as a birthday gift to his father on June 25, but he does not intend to leave Masbate to avoid a relapse, he said. ―I want to stay in a new place where I can choose new friends and people to deal with,‖ he added. After a 29-year struggle with drugs, Edward Yosores Jr., 40, has been sober for two years now and was offered a job to administer and manage another Fazenda, a smaller facility in Naga City in Camarines Sur province that operates in a 7-ha farm. The Fazenda in Naga has a maximum capacity of 12 residents and was put up in partnership with the Archdiocese of Caceres. Yosores believes that drug addicts understand themselves better. But it doesn‘t hurt to spend at least eight hours on work in the farm, as well as on prayer, reflection and a sharing of experiences while in the facility, he said. Typical schedule A typical Fazenda schedule starts with waking up at 4 a.m., breakfast at 5:30, meditation and Bible reflections at 6:15, a break at 9, and farm work until 11:45 a.m. Lunch and siesta follow until 2 p.m., after which it‘s back to farm work until sundown. Monday nights are devoted to sharing experiences about how they practice the three pillars of Fazenda—work, spirituality and community, while Tuesdays are for catechism. On Wednesday, residents share the ―word of life,‖ a selected passage from the Bible. ―For example, if we have chosen ‗act of love,‘ a resident can share how he practiced it. A resident may have gathered another resident‘s clothes drying in the sun when the rain comes,‖ Yosores said. Residents do their daily routine on Thursdays, and on Fridays, they watch movies together—usually inspirational films. ―But we don‘t watch news [programs],‖ Yosores said. There‘s half-day work on Saturdays—and on Sundays, rest and a Mass celebrated together. K, another former addict, heard about Fazenda from another addict and the father of her youngest son. She recalled hitting rock bottom, with only a piece of Spanish bread, an unpaid motel bill, and a cellular phone. She split the bread so she could have it for breakfast and dinner, and left her phone at the motel as collateral for her bill. Finally, with nowhere else to turn to, she returned home: the one place she had been trying to escape through drugs since she was 17. She was 34 then and unwilling to fill the gap she had with her sister and parents. Trauma She had expected the worst when she returned home in 2014, perhaps a pair of handcuffs and a trip to the rehabilitation center. She was relieved that she was instead brought to Fazenda where the most critical element of rehab is the person‘s decision to change. Openness and the willingness to change are key to the person‘s successful turnaround, said K who, in over two years, supported her two kids as a writer. Fazenda has changed her, K added. She used to be numb to the hugs of her kids. Today, their hugs delay her from leaving the house, and give her enough reason to hurry home when work is done. At Fazenda, K helps coordinate the weekly meeting of the facility‘s graduates. She has become its ambassador of hope. It‘s a change that herself feels despite the trauma of having six of her friends killed in the government‘s war on drugs, and of learning about her boyfriend‘s murder two days before Christmas. But unlike those who seek retribution for crimes committed against them, A has left everything to God. ―God will render judgment on them,‖ she said. What gives her strength to continue in the program is the desire to prove that authentic change is possible—even for addicts like her who has been using drugs since she was 13. A is now one of two coordinators in the house who makes sure work schedules are followed faithfully and food distributed equitably. In a house where residents deal with painful traumas (including human trafficking, which ultimately led to their drug addiction), the challenges of living together in harmony is a daily struggle. But it is also good training for dealing with the challenges of the outside world. In January, in a Mass celebrated by Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, four more Fazenda graduates became ambassadors of hope. Four may not be an impressive number, but it was a historic moment for the over 100 residents who overcame the logistical challenge of traveling together by bus, boat and van for an 18-hour journey. They were joined by Fazenda founders Fr. Hans Stapel, Nelson Giovanelli, Iraci Leiti and Luci Rosendo, who had flown in from Brazil for a visit. It was a community in solidarity against the extrajudicial killings of drug addicts. Four lives saved against the thousands killed may not seem much, but for Fazenda founders and residents alike, each individual life matters, each a harvest of hope. Activity 1: A JOURNEY OF HOPE (To be accomplished by those who opted modular only and those who haven’t attended the online class) Pope Francis once said, ―To you and to all, I repeat: never yield to discouragement, do not lose trust, do not allow your hope to be extinguished.‖ The article you have just read is a witness to this truth – hope will always be there for us. Look for words or phrases from the article that significantly suggest hope and redemption. Write as many as you can on the rays of the blazing sun. HOPE LINK FOR ADDITIONAL LEARNING: Click on the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIod2xsWKeY and watch the video clip titled, ―Fazenda da Esperanca: The Farm of Hope.‖ Reflect on the key message that it brings to its audience. Here are some points to ponder: 1. What does the ―The Place of Hope‖ imply? 2. What are the benefits of Rehabilitation?  RESEARCH Activity 2: What can you say? The House of Representatives approved on the third and final reading about the bill that would provide access to medical marijuana. House Bill 10439 permits the use of medical marijuana or medical cannabis for qualified patients. As part of the young generation, what can you say about the House Bill 10439 permits the use of medical marijuana? Summarize your answer in five sentences. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ Analysis Let us get to know more about… Commonly Abused Illegal Drugs in the Country ❖ Methamphetamine Hydrochloride (Shabu) A type of amphetamine also known as ―poor man‘s cocaine.‖ It is a white, odorless crystal or crystalline powder with a bitter numbing taste. It has harmful effects to the brain and changes how the brain functions. Abusers have reduced motor skills and impaired verbal learning as a result of alterations in the activity of the dopamine – a neurotransmitter involved in reward, motivation, experience of pleasure, and function. Other names include: tawas, basura, ubas, siopao, sha, shabs, and crystal. Other adverse effects are: extreme weight loss, severe dental problems, anxiety, confusion, insomnia, mood disturbances, and violent behavior. ❖ Cannabis Sativa (Marijuana) Marijuana use impairs a person's ability to form new memories and to shift focus. Its active component, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) also disrupts coordination and balance, posture and reaction time (experience commonly referred to as ―spacing out‖). Thus, chronic marijuana use significantly reduces a person‘s capacity to learn, carry-out complicated tasks, participate in sports, driving and operating other machineries. Studies also show that marijuana use can lead to lung cancer and other problems in the respiratory and immune systems. Other names are: weed, jutes, pot, grass, damo, chongke. Other adverse effects are: distorted perception, trouble with thinking and problem-solving, loss of motor coordination, and increased heart rate and palpitations. ❖ Inhalants Inhalant abuse is the deliberate inhalation of volatile chemical substance that contain psycho active (mind/mmod altering) vapors to produce a state of intoxication. Most inhalants are common household products including everyday products such as nail polish remover, glue, gasoline, household cleaners, and nitrous oxide. Inhalants also include fluorinated hydrocarbons found in aerosols such as hairspray, spray paint, and household cleaners. The effects of inhalants are similar to that of alcohol, including slurred speech, lack of coordination, euphoria and dizziness. Inhalant abusers may also experience lightheadedness, hallucinations, and delusions. Harmful irreversible effects of inhalants include: hearing loss, limb spasms, central nervous system or brain damage, and bone marrow damage. ❖ Cocaine Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug made from the leaves of the coca plant native to South America. Although health care providers can use it for valid medical purposes, such as local anesthesia for some surgeries, cocaine is an illegal drug. As a street drug, cocaine looks like a fine, white, crystal powder. Street dealers often mix it with things like cornstarch, talcum powder, or flour to increase profits. They may also mix it with other drugs such as the stimulant amphetamine.  It concretizes government‘s intensive and The Comprehensive Dangerous unrelenting campaign against the trafficking Drugs Act of 2002 and use of dangerous drugs, and other similar substances through an integrated system of planning, implementation, and enforcement of anti-drug abuse policies, programs and projects‖.
