It was just last month that Star Magic conducted supervised and voluntary drug tests to eliminate rumors of illegal drug use amongst its artists. Jake Cuenca, Diego Loyzaga, Enrique Gil, and other 37 artists of the talent management resulted negative.

Even TV host and actor Luis Manzano also tested negative. Manzano underwent drug testing on Philippine National Police (PNP) Crime Laboratory in Camp Crame, Quezon City.

Radio station 90.7 Love Radio went through the challenge as well. Comedic duo Nicole Hyala and Chris Tsuper, TLC host Papa Jack and the rest of the DJ’s resulted negative on the test.


“Ang Love Radio Manila ay nakikiisa sa pamahalan sa laban kontra sa droga. Kaya kami ay nagpa-drug test.” (The Love Radio Manila, is with the government in its fight against illegal drugs. That’s why we went through the drug test) said Papa Jack.

“Para patunayan na hindi kinukunsinte ng radio industry ang drug use. Hinahamon namin ang MOR 101.9 at Yes The Best 101.1 sa isang drug test challenge” (It is to prove that the radio industry has zero tolerance over drug use. We challenge MOR 101.9 and Yes The Best 101.1 to a drug test challenge) Nicole Hyala said at the end of the video.

Yesterday, September 1, Actor Patrick Garcia is the latest showbiz personality who took the challenge. Garcia resulted negative and even posted his results on Instagram, taking the test as support to the government’s campaign against drugs.


Teen king and teen queen, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo also expressed their willingness to take the test.

DRUG TEST CHALLENGE
Ayon kay RIZAL, "ang kabataan ay ang pag-asa ng bayan". Ngunit malabo itong mangyari kung ang KABATAAN ay unti-unting sinisira ng droga.
Ang mga HUMAN RIGHTS kunong mga tao ay wala talagang alam sa lawak ng DROGA sa ating bayan. Kung iisipin mo mahigit kalahating milyon na ang sumusuko at marami na ring mga malalaking DRUG LORDS na nahuhuli at namamatay. Pero ang tanong, bakit madami pa ring adik sa tabi-tabi? Ang totoo? NAPAKADAMI NILA at hindi alam yan ng mga tao. Nagkalat yan sa ating lipunan na pilit pinagtatakpan ng nakaaraang administrasyon. At karamihan diyan ay kabataan. REAL TALK- MADAMI YAN SA MGA CLUB AT BARS. Kaya narin siguro may nagcomment sa isa sa mga post ko na mag pa-drug test ako kaya ito ang aking ginawa at aking buong grupo ay sinurprise drug test namin ng aming Manager. Wala silang kaalam ANG ALAM NILA AY BIRTHDAY PARTY LAMANG NG AMING MANAGER (btw HBD sa aming Manager).
Hinahamon ko ang mga talak ng talak kong mga HATERS/BASHERS lalo na ang mga galit na galit na JOURNALIST/MEDIA sa akin na magpa-drug test din kyo. Mga ka-DDS share po natin ito upang magkaalaman kung sino ang mga salot sa ating bayan.
Tag niyo napo mga gusto niyo i-challenge.
