Isabela vice mayor takes a drug test after the interior secretary dares him
Isabela Vice Mayor Harold Respicio took a drug test at St. Luke's in Quezon City after Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla publicly challenged him, the Daily Tribune reported. An invoice he posted showed he paid ₱28,011 in cash. He challenged Remulla to refund his expenses. DailyDrop has not seen the test result or Remulla's reply.
It is part of a campaign by the interior department to test local officials.
No direct effect on services.
Wait for the result. A challenge and a counter-challenge is not a finding.
