PDEA-10 Regional Director Wilkins Villanueva said they tested some 146 public utility drivers, which includes 54 truck drivers, 19 jeepney drivers, 12 taxi drivers, 15 van drivers, 38 motorela drivers, and eight multicab drivers.
Villanueva said six of the 146 drivers tested positive for using shabu who were comprised of three truck drivers, and three motorela drivers.
