JAPANESE and local officials led by Japan’s Ambassador Koji Haneda and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Chief Representative Yoshido Wada break ground on July 19 for a Drug Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Center that will be built in Trece Martires City. The facility, targeted to be operational by 2020, is one of the Grant Aid for Budget Support worth 1.85 billion yen (about P863 million) concluded between JICA and the Philippine government under the Programme for Consolidated Rehabilitation of Illegal Drug Users (CARE) Project.
