The congressman, on the other hand, is in favor of it. He qualified it though that if it is for work purposes, then that would be fine. However, it must not only be focused on a particular sector.

“Drug testing is good but it should not be discriminatory. We should not focus on a specific sector of society,” he said in an interview with GMA News.
“Kung gagamitin itong pang-trabaho, okey lang, walang problema. But you cannot focus on just one sector,” he added as per PikaPika.
