CEBU CITY – The new year is not turning out to be a happy one for a policeman assigned at the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7) after he tested positive for illegal drug use, and is now facing dismissal from the service.
PRO-7 Director Brig. Gen. Ronnie Montejo said P/Cpl. Manuel Alconten Paez is facing dismissal from service after flunking a mandatory drug test last December 17.
“He is already undergoing a summary hearings and probably, he will be dismissed,” said Montejo.
Paez, 42, has already been transferred from PRO 7’s Police Recruitment Service (PRS) to the Regional Personnel Holding and Accounting Unit after the filing of criminal and administrative charges against him.
