00:00On another topic, last na lang po, yung sa drug testing na in order rin po ng Transportation Department.
00:06Bukas po ba yung palace to reconsider yung decision ng drug testing?
00:11Kasi po, sabi ng Piston, mahira po yun dahil yung pera nga po yung kinikita nila apektado
00:17kapag ipinatupad yung mandatory drug testing para sa PUV drivers.
00:22Si former Senator Tito Soto sabi niya,
00:26after more than 24 million drivers were tested, only 0.06% tested positive and it's simply money-making.
00:35Pag-aaralan po kaya ito?
00:36Dapat pong pag-aaralan kasi ito po ay kailangan din po.
00:39Tandaan po natin ang inaalagaan po dito yung safety po ng commuters,
00:44ng mga passengers, ng mga tao na gumagamit ng kalsada, including na rin po yung mga drivers.
00:53Hindi po ito basta-basta maaaring sabihin na huwag nalang gawin kung ito naman po ay makakasama sa safety.
01:00So, pag-aaralan pa rin po ito at huwag naman po agad nating husgahan na ito ay isang money-making device or strategy.
