TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol—A police officer in the Bohol Provincial Police Office (BPPO) will face administrative charges after he was tested positive for illegal drug use.
Senior Insp. Jojit Manangquil, deputy chief of the BPPO’s Provincial Intelligence Branch (PIB), said his urine, which was collected during a surprise random drug test last week, tested positive for drugs.
The identity of the police was withheld pending results of confirmatory test conducted by Philippine National Police Regional Crime Laboratory in Central Visayas.
The policeman was among the 32 out of 42 policemen who underwent the random drug test last week.
Some of the policemen did not show up because they were either attending court hearings or were in operations.
Nevertheless, those who did not show up were required to submit a letter stating their explanation, said Mananquil. RAM
