A lawmaker is urging the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) to conduct random drug testing on incumbent barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials and personnel in a bid to weed out drug users in public office. Kabayan party-list Rep. Ron Salo made the proposal on Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT“The random drug testing must be done as soon as possible as it is only a month before the barangay elections. The results of the random drug testing, Salo said, must be published before the elections so the electorate would be fully-informed.
