Trillanes, seeking re-election under the list of Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Francis Pangilinan, expressed support for Robredo’s statement on the importance of staying healthy, especially for public officials.
“I totally agree with that. Aside from a medical examination for health, at the same time a drug test – not the one where you submit a sample, it must be random and in public where one can. see that they take a sample of hair from you that will be used for the drug test, â€Trillanes said in Filipino on Robredo’s weekly radio show.
The submitted sample, he said, should be taken from the candidate, for the more comprehensive hair follicle drug test.
“We cannot allow an addict to be President of the Philippines. They won’t be okay. Their decisions will affect the lives of Filipinos. They have to be alert and their minds have to be sharp, â€he added.
President Duterte asserted on November 18 that a presidential candidate was using cocaine and had a “weak” character.
Duterte did not identify the candidate but claimed the presidential aspirant came from a wealthy family.
In October, the University of Oxford had argued on social media over Marcos’ degrees, claiming he had not graduated.
“You cannot claim to be a graduate. If they do that, nothing they will do will be right. On a simple CV, you are a graduate even if you are not, what is it? It means that you are able to deceive our citizens, â€said Trillanes. – Pia Lee-Brago
