Tan explained that the supposed drug test was canceled to give way to the filing of charges against Kho’s mother. “Pero instead na i-cancel yung meeting for invitation, nag-attend pa rin kami sa PDEA nagkaroon naman ng magandang pag-uusap [but instead of postponing the meeting, we still attended it]," Tan said. The drug test would be rescheduled, Tan added. - Aie Balagtas See, GMANews.TV
