QUEZON CITY ELECTED COUNCILOR WAS PROVEN POSITIVE ON DRUG TEST

In an early report of Inquirer this morning, Hero Bautista an elected councilor of Quezon City was tested positive for marijuana and shabu. City Mayor Herbert Bautista admitted thas his brother failed the drug test.


A few days ago, Bautista told reporters who were pressing him on the councilor’s identity that he had yet to see the official report on the drug tests. Mayor Bautista told reporters that he really don't know who is the councilor who have been postive on the said test but he also told that if it's his sibling, he should undergo rehabilitation.


Under Quezon City’s drug-free workplace ordinance, those who test positive for drugs will be required to undergo “guidance counseling” (for occasional users) and a “mandatory six-month treatment and rehabilitation program” in a government-run facility (for chronic users).

It was unclear if this would mean Hero’s suspension or dismissal.
