Military authorities here announced today, Tuesday, that the
alleged soldier nabbed in Midsayap, North Cotabato
for illegal drug pushing was no longer connected with the military.
Lt. Colonel Joel Mamon, commander of the military's 40th
Infantry Battalion based in Aleosan, North Cotabato, told reporters that the
man collared by police authorities for keeping a huge volume of methamphetamine
hydrochloride has long been discharged from military service due to absence
without official leave.
Mamon said a man the police identified as Corporal Dres
Endaila was a former member of 40th IB but is now officially discharged.
Mamon said Endaila has been charged before the provost marshall
Armed with arrest warrants, the Midsayap PNP, led by town
police director Supt. Gilbert Tuzon, swooped down on the house of Endaila where
the raiding team seized shabu, a hand grenade and unlicensed guns.
Mamon said Endaila opted to go on AWOL because he knew
pretty well that the military does not tolerate its men engaged in illegal
activities like illegal drug pushing and using.
Endaila is now detained at Midsayap PNP local up cell while
charges for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs
Act and illegal possession of firearms and explosives are being prepared
against him.
