The calls for mandatory drug testing of all officials and employees working in the city government has garnered the support of Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran. Prior to being elected as vice mayor, Familiaran said he forwarded three resolutions of the same kind before the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) while serving as councilor. He said, besides regular employees, even job order casuals (JOs) should also undergo drug testing as part of their requirement before being hired to work for the city government. “This is a welcome development from Mayor Evelio Leonardia and this will be in line with the directives of President Rodrigo Duterte,” he said. Familiaran added the drug tests should be carried out yearly to stomp out delinquent government workers if any, and to deter the employees from engaging in illegal drug activities. Last Wednesday, Leonardia ordered the City Legal Office (CLO) to draft a memorandum ordering and requiring all city officials and employees to undergo mandatory drug tests. Councilor Ricardo ‘Cano’ Tan has also revealed plans to file a resolution before the SP for the mandatory testing of all city workers. /WDJ Watchmen Daily Journal By Dominique Gabriel G. Bañaga
