DEPARTMENT of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla on Thursday reimbursed the P28,011 cost of the drug test of Reina Mercedes, Isabela Vice Mayor Harold Respicio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEto na. Happy?\u201d Remulla wrote in the caption of what appeared to be a digital receipt for an online fund transfer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The refund was confirmed by Remulla on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DILG chief attached a screenshot of the proof of payment on Respicio\u2019s online post who was asking for a reimbursement for the drug test.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Facebook post, Respicio uploaded a QR code for a P28,011 payment to his GCash account as he urged Remulla to reimburse the amount for his drug test.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJonvic, ito QR code. Pa-GCash P28,011. Reimbursement for drug test,\u201d the vice mayor\u2019s post stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remulla on Wednesday asked Respicio to undergo a drug test following a shouting match with barangay officials on October 5 at the Sangguniang Bayan office that went viral online.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vice mayor of Reina Mercedes immediately responded to Remulla\u2019s call and took a drug test at St. Luke\u2019s Medical Center in Quezon City. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The results showed that Respicio was negative for methamphetamine, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cocaine, ecstasy, benzodiazepines, opiates, propoxyphene, and tricyclic antidepressants<\/strong><\/p>\n

Respicio uploaded an invoice showing that the drug test cost around P28,000 and sought a refund.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Remulla on Thursday said the \u201cshouting match\u201d issue is now on the table of Isabela Gov. Rodolfo Albano III.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DILG chief said the matter should be addressed through the proper processes at the provincial level.<\/strong><\/p>\n
