The Muntinlupa City Hall has again been declared as a drug-free workplace, making it the first local government unit (LGU) in Metro Manila to secure this status for 2025, Mayor Ruffy Biazon said.

The LGU earned the drug-free certification for the first time in the year 2023. 

Biazon noted that the reaffirmed recognition is a reflection of the city’s strengthened efforts and policies under ordinance No. 2024-030, along with cooperation with authorities including the Philippine National Police, the Department of Interior and Local Government, the City Health Office, and the Drug-Free Institution Oversight Committee. 

The nine other barangay halls in Muntinlupa have also been declared to be a drug-free workplace.

Biazon highlighted that the  regular drug testing implemented is not only for compliance but a responsibility to ensure a safe workforce.
