MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte accepted calls for her to undergo a mental health examination, but only if  2025 election candidates will take drug tests.

Duterte said in a chance interview on Tuesday that she has no problem with a psychological test – and that she is even willing to take a drug test as long as congressional bets, especially those calling her “unstable,” will go through the same as soon as possible.
