FIRST District Rep. Paolo Duterte tested negative on the hair follicle drug test conducted by Hi-Precision Diagnostics Center.
The test, performed on a hair sample collected on Oct. 23, 2024, confirmed that Paolo Duterte is free from any traces of illegal substances.
The examination, known as the “Hair 7 Drug Panel Test,” was conducted by Omega Laboratories, a certified testing facility.
It screened for multiple drugs, including amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine/metabolites, opiates, extended opiates, phencyclidine (PCP), THC metabolite (Marijuana), and benzodiazepines.
All tests returned negative results, indicating that none of these substances were detected in Duterte’s system.
The official document, dated Oct. 28, 2024, certified by Hi-Precision Diagnostics, attests to the thorough screening process using advanced techniques such as ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for initial testing and GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) or LC/MS/MS (liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry) for confirmation.
This testing methodology is known for its high accuracy and is often used in legal, corporate, and personal cases where reliable results are required.
This drug test result is significant as it reinforces Paolo Duterte’s claim of being drug-free amidst rumors and accusations surrounding political figures.
