Sotto Wants Mandatory Drug Testing in Senate
August 18, 2025
|The Philippine Star
Senate Minority Leader Vicente Sotto III has urged the Senate to immediately conduct a mandatory random drug test for all officials and employees, following allegations of marijuana use within the chamber.
In a letter dated Aug. 17 addressed to Senate President Francis Escudero, Sotto cited the news reports last week on the supposed drug use of Sen. Robinhood Padilla's staffer Nadia Montenegro on the fifth floor women's restroom of the Senate building. Sotto recalled that the Senate had previously carried out random testing in 2018 in line with Republic Act 9165 or the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, Civil Service Commission Resolution No. 1700653 mandating random drug tests for public officials and employees, and Senate Policy Order 2018002.
