LAWMAKERS urged Davao City First District Paolo “Pulong” Duterte to appear before Congress and defend his proposed bill requiring government officials to undergo mandatory random drug testing through a hair follicle drug test.
In a statement, Puwersa ng Bayaning Atleta Partylist Rep. Margarita “Atty. Migs” Nograles said that while Duterte has the right to file the bill, he should personally defend it in committee and plenary sessions rather than delegating it to another congressman.
“There is a Supreme Court case already that deemed mandatory drug testing unconstitutional if it’s included as one of the qualifications for a candidate, as the Constitution itself determines those qualifications,” Nograles said.She also pointed out that it would be unconstitutional if the proposed measure singles out specific individuals, noting that such a policy should apply uniformly across all levels of government, including local government units .
