16 Danao workers test positive for illegal drug use
Sixteen employees of the Danao City government tested positive for illegal drug use in a surprise drug test yesterday.
The random drug testing was initiated by the Cebu Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Commission upon the request of the city government.
Joey Herrera, CPADAC executive director, said 195 regular and job-order employees were subjected to the test held at the mayor’s office where employees were asked to gather through a memorandum.
A male job-order employee admitted using illegal drugs last Saturday.
Danao City Mayor Ramon Durano III said he will just wait for the confirmatory test results.
He said that job-order employees confirmed to have used illegal drugs will be automatically removed from service.
Permanent employees, on the other hand, will undergo due process.
