Iloilo Teacher Drug Video Alarms Community

A viral video of an Iloilo teacher allegedly using illegal drugs has shocked many people in the community, especially in Ajuy, Iloilo, where the incident reportedly took place. The video, which was sent to Zarraga News LIVE Station, shows a man, believed to be a high school teacher, using a piece of aluminum foil while inhaling white smoke — a method often linked to illegal drug use.

The teacher is seen wearing only underwear while performing the act, which many believe involves shabu (methamphetamine), a highly dangerous and illegal substance.

Where Did This Happen?

According to reports, this happened in a public high school under the supervision of the DepEd (Department of Education) Division of Iloilo, led by Superintendent Dr. Ernesto Servillon Jr. The teacher is part of his division and is currently assigned to a high school in Ajuy, Iloilo.

What makes this situation even more alarming is the information that the school principal allegedly knew about the teacher’s drug use but did not take any action.

Why This Is a Big Issue

This is not just about one teacher. It’s about the safety of students and the quality of education they receive. Parents trust schools to provide a safe and healthy environment. When someone responsible for teaching children is involved in this kind of behavior, it puts everyone at risk.

It also raises questions:

• Are schools doing enough background checks?
• Are teachers getting the support they need to stay away from harmful activities?
• Is the leadership of DepEd taking responsibility?

History of Problems in DepEd Iloilo

This isn’t the first time that DepEd Iloilo, under Dr. Servillon Jr., has faced serious complaints.

1. Maasin Iloilo Incident

A male student reportedly took his own life after receiving a failing grade (64) from a teacher. The family believes the grade and pressure caused extreme stress.

2. Pototan Iloilo Case

In another shocking case, a video surfaced showing a Grade 8 male student allegedly being kicked, slapped, and punched by a teacher. This teacher was also under Dr. Servillon Jr.’s supervision. The student’s family has filed a case.

These incidents point to a bigger problem within the system, where complaints are either ignored or not taken seriously. Many parents and community members now want action and accountability.

What Should Be Done?

Many are calling for the following steps:

• Immediate Investigation: Authorities should look into the video and confirm if the person is indeed a teacher.
• Drug Testing: Regular drug tests for teachers may help prevent similar issues.
• Stronger Discipline: School heads and principals must act fast when faced with serious problems.
• Better Leadership: DepEd needs leaders who take quick action to protect students.

What Does DepEd Say?

As of now, there has been no official statement from Dr. Servillon Jr. or the Department of Education Iloilo Division about this specific video or the other cases. People are waiting for answers.

Community leaders, parents, and even students are speaking up. They are worried that if these things are not solved, more students could be put in harm’s way.

Why This Matters to All of Us

This is not just a school issue. It affects the whole community. When children see these kinds of problems in their schools, it affects their mental health, performance, and trust in adults.

Also, teachers are supposed to be role models. If even one of them is involved in dangerous behavior, it can damage the reputation of many hardworking and honest educators.

My Personal Thoughts

As someone who went to public school, I know how much influence a teacher can have on a student’s life. Good teachers can change your future. But when someone in that position does something like this, it’s not just sad — it’s dangerous.

I really hope the authorities take quick action. Teachers who need help should get help, but those who break the law should also face the consequences. Our kids deserve better.
