A Special Action Force (SAF) female member was arrested while allegedly using shabu (crystal meth) in Taguig City over the weekend.

Philippine National Police (PNP) Dir. Gen. Oscar D. Albayalde presented to the media on Monday Police Officer (PO) 3 Lyn Tubig, who was arrested in a follow-up operation in Barangay Tuktukan on Saturday.

Albayalde said police initially responded to an incident of theft in the area and their chase of an armed man through the shanties led them to discover the said pot session.

Tubig, 38, was caught together with her boyfriend, John Vincent German, and his father, Fernando German.

Tubig was assigned to the SAF 44th battalion at Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan.

Albayalde said Tubig had tested positive for illegal drugs.

National Capital Region Police Office director Chief Supt. Guillermo Eleazar said she had personally admitted to him that she had been using illegal drugs.

“Well, actually when I confronted her during her arrest, I was there, umamin naman siya talaga na gumagamit siya ng ilegal na droga at ayaw niyang idamay ang Special Action Force sa kanyang ginagawa,” Eleazar said in a press briefing.

(Well, actually when I confronted her during her arrest, I was there, she admitted that she was really using illegal drugs and she did not want to drag the SAF in her dealings.)

“But just the same, ito ‘yung dapat mawala sa ating organisasyon,” he added.

(But just the same, these are the people who should be weeded out of the organization.)            /kga
