The DOH Camarines Sur Treatment & Rehabilitation Center, known for its active involvement in this advocacy, spearheaded the event.
With the theme “Create. Dance. Live. Expressing talent towards a drug-free lifestyle,” the competition provided a platform for young dancers to showcase their creativity, promote a healthy lifestyle, and raise awareness about the detrimental effects of substance abuse.
