“It’s sad to think that even a senior citizen would do something illegal. I do not know what’s her reason, but even so, using or selling illegal drugs will not help you have a good life. Even if life gets hard, selling illegal drugs should not be an option. Life is too beautiful to be wasted on illegal drugs” pahayag ni PBGen Coop.
