The prominent host and manager Boy Abunda said that there is nothing wrong with the idea of having the celebrities undergo drug test.
He strongly believes that the entertainment industry should not receive any special treatment when it comes to the administration's campaign against illegal drugs.
"Tayo ay titignan dapat bilang mamamayan. Kung ito ay ginagawa sa iba't ibang sektor ng lipunan... Why would we expect special treatment?" he said to the ABS-CBN News and the other media members in an event for his endorsement, TechnoMarine watches.
"So kung ito ay kinakailangan, bakit hindi gawin? That's my stand."
When asked about Robin Padilla's stand on naming of the people involved in drugs, he said: "I respect that, nabasa ko 'yung stand ni Binoy (Robin Padilla). I respect that. Ang akin ay what is done to one sector should be applicable to all."
"Let's not impose anything that we cannot impose on ourselves. Kung patas ay patas ang laban. Ang pakiusap ko lang, sana ang vetting process, ang pag-imbestiga ay mabusisi," he added. "We are a public business, reputation is at stake. Kahit hindi ka naman nasa show business, reputation is reputation. So kung ano ang ina-apply doon sa ibang sektor, if it has to be applied to the business of showbiz, then so be it."
