130 policemen tested positive of shabu
QUEZON CITY, Philippines — From more than 10,000 policemen subjected through random and surprise drug testing of the Philippine National Police Crime Laboratory since July 1, a total of 130 were tested positive of using shabu after going through confirmatory tests.
According to PNP Crime Laboratory Director P/CSupt. Emmanuel Aranas, the figure is as of 7:50 this morning.
“We tested 99,598 PNP personnel. Out of this number, a total of 130 were confirmed positive of shabu,” P/Csupt. Aranas said.
The said policemen came from various regions in the country ranking from police officer 1 to police chief inspector.
“We are just more than half. We cannot tell yet as to which region has the most but the ranks are from chief inspector down to PO1,” Aranas said.
Aranas says none from those tested positive has questioned the results of the tests.
The results were immediately sent to the office of the PNP chief and their respective immediate supervisors who should file administrative charges against them.
“We send a report regularly depending on the additional results for the Chief PNP. It is only the Chief PNP can announce this to the public.”
Gen. Ronald ‘Bato’ Dela Rosa has once said that he has zero-tolerance when it comes to illegal drugs and he will order immediate filing of charges against those who will be proven using the substance and likely to face dismissal.
To date, around 70% of the total police force had been subjected to drug testing while they are now doing the test on the rest of the remaining 30,000 who are mostly on a mission or training. — Lea Ylagan / UNTV News & Rescue
