The anti-drugs advocacy group Laban ng Pamilyang Pilipino (LPP) is calling out members of the British boy band One Direction to undergo a drug test before their concert in the country next year, reports say after a press conference Monday.
This appeal came after two of the band’s members, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson, were filmed allegedly smoking something they referred to as a ‘joint.’
The footage, published by British news site Mail Online, was taken inside a sports utility vehicle (SUV) while the band was in Peru for the Latin America leg of their 2014 concert tour.
Although Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan were not seen in the video, LPP founder Jonathan Morales still insisted that the famed boy band be placed under the watch of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) during their stay in the country.
LPP noted that One Direction should abide by the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, a law declaring marijuana as illegal in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, Morales believes the group does not set a good example to their young fans following the leak of the five-minute footage.
One Direction will have a two-night concert in the country on March 2015.
