‘No drug test, no job hiring’

LEMERY, Batangas: Despite the temporary suspension of the anti-illegal drug campaign upon orders of President Rodrigo Duterte, Mayor Eulalio Alilio instituted another strategy to combat the drug menace by implementing a new job hiring scheme – the “No Drug Test, No Hiring Policy.”

Alilio, a former police officer, said the policy is based on a recently passed resolution by the Sanguniang Bayan (Municipal Council), which was the basis of an ordinance making it mandatory for all job applicants to undergo and pass the drug test.
