A non-commissioned officer and three enlisted men belonging to the 82nd Batallion of the 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division (3ID) of the Philippine Army based in Tapaz, Capiz have been placed on probation for suspicions that they are engaging in substance abuse.
In all likelihood said Maj. Ray Tiongson, 3ID spokesman, the soldiers may face dismissal proceedings if found guilty of dabbling in illegal drugs, but gave no namesexplaining that he has yet to receive a complete report on it from higher ups.
Misfits have no place in any branches of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), he said.
For his part, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Region 6 director Paul Ledesma said the AFP has its own Department of Health-accredited medical facility capable of holding drug tests, but should the 3ID decide to send over the specimens to his office for confirmatory test, he would welcome it anytime.
