Imee Marcos takes drug test
Senator Imee Marcos and 38 of her staff voluntarily underwent a drug test on Wednesday following an incident involving alleged marijuana use by a Senate employee.
The 5-panel drug test can detect various substances including cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, marijuana, and opium.
Senator Marcos stated that she compelled her staff to undergo the test and decided to join them to set a good example, believing mandatory drug testing ensures a drug-free workplace.
Marcos recalled implementing similar mandatory drug testing for all employees when she was the governor of Ilocos Norte.
Senators Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri and Raffy Tulfo, along with their staff, have also undergone drug testing.
Senator Loren Legarda has mandated the same for her staff, and Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada is also willing to undergo testing.
The drug test results for Tulfo and his staff were negative, while the results for others are still pending.
