The Supreme Court on Thursday refuted claims that its Office of the Court Administrator is mandating judges and court employees to undergo drug testing."The OCA Circular issued by the Court Administrator just mandated the annual physical examinations of judges and court personnel on or before Oct. 15, 2024," SC spokesperson lawyer Camille Ting said in a press conference.
