The Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed the transfer of
the custody of Marine Lt. Col. Ferdinand L. Marcelino from the Bureau of Jail
Management and Penology (BJMP) in Taguig
City
In a two-page letter of Senior Deputy State Prosecutor
Theodore Villanueva, the DOJ cited safety and security reasons in its proposal
to immediately transfer Marcelino to the PN or NBI custody.
Villanueva heads the DOJ Task Force focusing on illegal drug
cases such as the case of Marcelino and Chinese interpreter Yan Yi Shou, who
were earlier charged by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) with
violation of Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of
2002.
Marcelino and the Chinese national were arrested in a
clandestine shabu laboratory in Sta. Cruz, Manila
Villanueva noted that Marcelino can also be placed under the
custody of the PN, which earlier said that they are prepared to take custody of
Marcelino who is an active member of the Philippine Marines.
The camp of Marcelino has asked the DOJ for the transfer of
his custody after he was moved from the detention facility of the Philippine
National Police-Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (PNP-AIDG) in Camp
Crame , Quezon City
to the BJMP's Quezon City Jail Annex Detention Center
in Taguig City
