Panfilo Lacson, Tito Sotto submit selves to drug testing
PRESIDENTIAL aspirant Senator Panfilo Lacson and his running mate, Senate President Vicente Sotto III, underwent on Monday, November 22, voluntary drug testing at the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency office in Quezon City.
“What we underwent was not the ordinary testing. PDEA uses a multidrug testing kit. It can check all types of illegal drugs encompassing holistic drug test,” Sotto said.This came after President Rodrigo Duterte made a pronouncement that a presidential aspirant, which he did not name, was using cocaine.
“We encourage it para mawala ‘yung doubt. Kami nga po we just encourage. Alam namin walang ganung requirement,” he said. “At the end of the day, it would show ‘yung these candidates are free from drugs. Again iba ho ‘yung encourage sa the PNP dares. We did not dare them. Iba ‘yung dating nun...It's their free will,” he added.He said they are also coordinating with the PDEA over the conduct of investigation on Duterte’s allegations.
