The Dangerous Drugs Board (Filipino: Lupon sa Mapanganib na Droga, abbreviated DDB) is a government agency tasked with creating policies in dealing with illegal drugs in the Philippines.
[1] The DDB was mandated to be the policy-making and coordinating agency as well as the national clearing house on all matters pertaining to law enforcement and control of dangerous drugs; treatment and rehabilitation of drug dependents; drug abuse prevention, training and information; research and statistics on the drug problem and the training of personnel engaged in these activities.
[1] Seven national agencies in the country initially formed part of the Dangerous Drugs Board.
Through the law the Department of the Interior and Local Government, Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Foreign Affairs, Commission on Higher Education, National Youth Commission, and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency which was recently established at the time became members of the DDB.
