Readers: Declaring date of random drug test an act of stupidity

USELESS. Readers called up The Ear to comment on the announcement by the Dangerous Drugs Board on the date of the start of random drug testing in schools. They said that announcing the date of the drug testing in schools defeats the purpose of the drug testing. One housewife said, “Nganong gi-announce man intawon uy? Sama ra na nga gihatagan og warning ang mga drug addicts nga ‘uy, mag drug testing aning adlawa ha. Absent na lang mo daan.’ Useless!’”

FAILURE. Another reader who identified herself as a retired school teacher commented, “Announcing the random drug testing is stupidity on the part of the agency concerned. Why announce it? They removed the element of surprise. So ang mga drug addicts sa schools, aware na. Makalusot na sila.”
