The 13th batch of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agents has started training at the PDEA Academy in Camp General Mariano Castañeda, Silang, Cavite.
The 145 agent-trainees, including 18 women, will undergo a six-month training on drug law enforcement, according to a statement from PDEA on Tuesday.
“PDEA is training and molding a new breed of drug busters with these 145 new trainees,” Director General Aaron Aquino said.
According to PDEA, more than a thousand applicants have vied for the training but only a few have passed qualifying examinations.
The pre-qualifiers included a background investigation, as well as neuro-physical, medical, and physical tests. /vvp
