The Philippine Army tells the Department of Justice (DOJ)
that Lt. Col. Ferdinand L. Marcelino, an official of the Philippine Marines and
a former official of the Special Enforcement Services of the Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency (PDEA), is part of the Army's Intelligence and Security
Group.
Marcelino was arrested in a drug bust operation in Sta.
Cruz, Manila
last week.
The DOJ on Monday received a certification, dated Jan. 22,
2016, from the Army's (PA) Intelligence and Security Group signed by Col. Marlo
Guloy.
The certification states that Marcelino was part of the
intelligence information in the Intelligence and Security Group of the
Philippine Army from November 2015 to December this year in connection with the
suspected members of the Philippine Army, who were involved in the use of
illegal drugs and other activities involving illegal drugs.
It added that it was pursuant to the directive of the
General Headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Task Force
Moses and the Philippine Army Task Group Midas.
Marcelino last Friday asked for a preliminary investigation
of his case to give him the opportunity to submit a counter-affidavit and
pieces of evidence to prove that his presence in the said laboratory of illegal
drugs in Sta. Cruz, Manila
was a legitimate operation.
Marcelino was arrested by the combined forces of the PDEA
and the Philippine National Police-Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (PNP-AIDG) right
there and then in the said illegal drugs laboratory.
