Presidential aspirant and Manila mayor Isko Moreno will be undergoing voluntary drug testing tomorrow, Thursday.
Moreno sent a letter to Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Wilkins Villanueva and requested for testing for illegal drugs.
“In the interest of public service in the highest order, may I please submit myself for immediate drug testing for cocaine, shabu, marijuana, or all other illegal substances,” Moreno said.

Duterte refused to name the presidential bet.

“We are willing of course, kung ‘yun ang kailangan para mapanatag ang tao. Tama naman ‘yung mga tao — ‘pag ikaw ay president at ikaw ay drug user, how can you fight against drugs?” Moreno added.
He also said that he wants to prove that he’s not into drugs even during his years in the show business and as Manila mayor.
“I have never been into drugs, maski solvent o ano pa,” he said. (TDT)
