THE Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines fired 20 of the 23 personnel who tested positive for drug use following a series of urine testing on more than 2,000 workers at 26 airports nationwide during the first half of the year.

Of the 2,620 employees who underwent screening for narcotics during that period, only 23 were found guilty of using methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu.

In his report submitted to CAAP director general Antonio Buendia, physician Rolly Bayaban, head of the agency’s Office of the Flight Surgeon and Aviation Medicine (OFSAM), said the 20 employees have been dismissed while the case against three others remains under review.
