From GMA News (Jul 24): Army to probe official caught in CDO anti-drugs operation
The Philippine Army on Sunday said it will launch an investigation against its officer who was arrested by policemen in an anti-drugs operation in Cagayan de Oro City.
Army spokesperson Col. Benjamin Hao said Maj. Suharto Tambidan Macabuat, 40, was arrested along with his wife inside their house on Saturday.
Hao said firearms and "a large amount of illegal drugs" were recovered during the operation.
“We are now initiating an investigation on the matter. The Army will not tolerate any of its personnel involved in illegal drugs operation,” Hao said.
He said the Philippine Army will cooperate with the law enforcement agencies in the investigations.
“If there is an evidence that will show Macabuat is indeed linked with illegal drug operation, he will be referred to either the military court martial or the Army’s Efficiency and Separation Board (ESB),” said Hao.
He added: “This is without prejudice to the possible criminal cases that will be filed against him.”
