Drug tests for congressmen proposed by Barzaga 0 SHARES Share it! He called for a “drug- ree House of Representatives,” stressing that each congressman must voluntarily submit to a random drug test. House members in the past have agreed to undergo drug testing in the past, although a random drug testing has yet to be conducted. It will be recalled that former Negros Occidental Rep. Alfredo Benitez initiated the move to undergo drug tests at the laboratory of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency. According to Barzaga the proposed drug test may be performed as “unobtrusive as possible in order to prevent any invasion” to the constitutional rights of a congressman.
