City Hall employee tests positive of drug use

A CITY government employee tested positive of illegal substance use during the random drug test conducted on Sept. 5 after the flag ceremony. Ten employees were randomly tested and only one of them turned out positive. Still, the result will be sent to the Department of Health (DOH) for confirmation.

If the DOH confirms the findings, the subject employee who is a casual plantilla, will be dismissed from service and his benefits like terminal leave and retirement will be forfeited based on civil service rules, City Administrator Dr. Dennis Capuyan explained.
