President Gloria Arroyo has ordered drug tests in all high schools in the country after appointing herself anti-drugs czar. The move comes amid a high-profile bribery scandal in a drugs case involving justice officials, and new data showing alarmingly low levels of prosecution for drugs-related offences over the past five years. The drug tests will cover 9,300 public and private high schools countrywide, in which eight million students are enrolled.
