TAGBILARAN CITY,
September 30 (PIA) -- The president of the League of Municipalities (LMP) in
Bohol is planning to have all mayors in the province to undergo drug testing.
LMP-Bohol President
Clarin Mayor Allen Piezas during a radio interview here yesterday said he would
still consult other members of the organization during their next meeting on
October regarding this plan.
According to Piezas, this
initiative is also a way for local chief executives in the province to show
support for the Duterte administration’s war against illegal drugs.
On July 27, 2016, after
presiding over his first National Security Council meeting, President Rodrigo
Duterte called on local government officials to support his war against illegal
drugs, warning that unless the scourge is eliminated, it will haunt the three
succeeding administrations.
Since the national
government launched its intensified drive against illegal drugs, mayors in
Balilihan, Dauis and Panglao towns have voluntarily undergone drug testing and
were found negative of any drug traces.
The mayors in the
province are the heads of the Municipal Peace and Order Council and Municipal
Anti-Drug Abuse Council in their respective towns who oversee peace and order
situation in each town and the municipality’s drive against crime and illegal
drug activities. (rmn/ecb/PIA7-Bohol)
