Philippine Marines Lt. Col. Ferdinand L. Marcelino appeared
again on Monday before the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation on the
drug charges filed against him and another suspect.
Marcelino is the former director of the Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency-Special Enforcement Division (PDEA-SED) who was arrested in
a drug bust operation in Sta. Cruz, Manila last January 21.
He appeared during the preliminary investigation, together
with his co-respondent Yan Yi Shou, a former PDEA interpreter.
During the hearing, the Philippine National Police
Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (PNP-AIDG) submitted its reply on the
counter-affidavit of Yan.
The PNP-AIDG presented a certificate to prove that Yan was
neither an action agent nor an interpreter of the PDEA.
They also cited the failure of Yan to present document to
support his defense that their presence during the conduct of the drug-bust
operation of the PDEA in Sta. Cruz, Manila
The DOJ set the next hearing on Feb. 26, 2016 wherein the
camp of Marcelino and Yan is expected to submit their rejoinder in connection
with the complaint for violation of Republic Act No. 9165, or the
"Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002", filed against them.
