Project TokHang ▫ TokHang involves the conduct of house to house
visitations to persuade suspected illegal drug
personalities to stop their illegal activities in

“Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Councils” (BADACs)
and other stakeholders.
▫ It has five (5) stages namely: 1. Collection and
Validation of Information Stage, 2. Coordination
Stage, 3. House to House Visitation Stage, 4.
