Army certifies Marcelino as part of its intelligence network

From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 26): Army certifies Marcelino as part of its intelligence network

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.
