Dad: No escaping act in surprise drug test
BINMALEY – A town councilor is hard put in explaining his absence during the voluntary drug-testing for officials and employees.
“I am not evading the drug test conducted last week,” said Councilor Michael Angelo Fernandez. “I was not in my office that day due to some appointments in line with my duties and responsibilities.”
He was reacting to insinuations made by an official of the PNP Drug Laboratory based in Urdaneta City that he deliberately avoided the drug test.
The surprise voluntary drug testing was initiated by Mayor Simplicio Rosario in order to detect any personnel who might be taking illegal drugs.
No employee was found positive of illegal drug intake.
Fernandez said being a professional, he undergoes yearly drug testing as a requirement for the renewal of his professional license.
To prove that he was not evading the drug testing, Fernandez said he will submit to the Sangguniang Bayan his itinerary of travel on the day municipal officials and employees underwent the process.
At least 90 per cent of the officials and employees, including policemen of Binmaley, underwent the voluntary drug testing. –APE
