From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 8): 21 ranking military officers in Isabela undergo surprise drug test

Twenty-one ranking officers of the 5th Infantry Division in Isabela province, including its commander Brig. Gen. Paul T. Atal, participated in a surprise drug test Friday afternoon.

Capt. Evelyn Audencial, 5th Infantry Division public affairs office chief, said the drug test took place at the Division Conference Room, Camp Melchor F. Dela Cruz in Upi, Gamu town.

She said it was the second leg of the surprise test conducted by the Division's medical staff.

Atal and the 20 other ranking officers readily submitted themselves to the drug test and provided urine samples to medical personnel assigned to conduct the test.

"Let us do our part as a leader to set a good example to our soldiers for them to see that we are clean and free from illegal drugs," he said.
