From the Philippine Information Agency (Sep 6): Valorian troopers back anti-drug campaign

The 36th Infantry “Valor” Battalion (36IB), Philippine Army based in Barangay Dayoan, Tago town, this province vows all-out support to President Rodrigo Duterte’s call “to suppress crime and fight against illegal drug trade” thru the implementation of Project Double Barrel.

Accordingly, 36IB commanding officer Lt. Col Randolph Rojas himself led several group discussions and fora on drug related issues to some identified communities and secondary schools under his area of responsibility.

Civil Military Operations (CMO) officer Capt. Al Pueblas said they have been supporting the police force in implementing such program in their area.

Part of the activities they have conducted are: the establishment of the Joint AFP-PNP check points, operation TokHang, and anti-illegal drugs campaign in different schools.

As revealed by police provincial director PSSupt Romaldo Bayting, three were already killed in separate anti-illegal drugs operation in the province since July 1 this year.

Meanwhile, Pueblas said that the 36IB troopers underwent a random drug test but all tested negative for illegal drugs use.
