HINDI pabor si Senador Robin Padilla na magkaroon ng mandatory drug testing sa mga artistang gaya niya.
Ito ay matapos ang pahayag ni Surigao del Norte 2nd District Rep. Robert “Ace” Barbers na dapat magkaroon ng drug testing ang mga aktor bago sumalang sa isang proyekto.
“I am one in seeking to protect our fellow Filipinos from the ill effects of illegal drugs. This includes my fellow workers in the showbiz industry,” sabi ni Padilla.
“However, we cannot oblige anyone to undergo a drug test, as it is tantamount to violating their human rights. That said, I am for them taking a voluntary drug test – as this is for their safety and wellbeing. It would also be best if the employers shouldered the expenses for such drug tests,” dagdag pa niya.
Ayon pa sa actor-turned-senator, ang mga opisyal at mga manggagawa sa pamahalaan ang dapat isailalim sa mandatory drug test.
“It would be better if our government officials and employees take drug tests as they have the responsibility to provide our people with a good example,” ayon sa mambabatas.
