MAYOR, COPS, AND LGU EXECS YIELD TO DRUG TEST

GLAN Municipal Mayor Yoyong Yap together with some 203 local government
employees including members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Glan
Sarangani Province submitted themselves to drug test.

Mayor Yap ordered the drug test to government workers as part of his
all-out war campaign against drugs in the municipality.

Yap vowed to fire immediately any employee or member of the PNP in his town
who will turn positive of illegal dugs in their system.

Also, Yap decided to give a reward to anybody who can pinpoint a drug
pusher and user operating in his area of responsibility just to contain the
rampant drug addiction in Glan.

Yap said through the reward system he is offering to the public, many drug
pushers have gone now while number of drug users declined.

However, Yap failed to mention the percentage of the reduction in number of
drug pushers and users in the area.

In line with his all-out war campaign, Yap also included strong crusade
against illegal gambling, illegal logging, piracy and other illegal
activities in Glan.

Just recently, the Philippine coastguard here disclosed that sea piracy is
rampant in Glan and seek the help of municipal officials in the area to
instigate measures to control said illegal activity.
