Gen. Debold Sinas, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), said the urine sample of Master Sgt. Leonardo Mariano, Jr. also tested positive during the confirmatory test conducted by the personnel of the PNP Crime Lab.
“The official result of the drug test will be forwarded to the Regional Internal Affairs Service for proper action,” said Sinas.
Mariano was among the 74 policemen who attended a Finance Course on December 11 at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City.
The PNP has initiated an aggressive drug testing for its personnel across the country as part of the effort to get rid of drug users among police personnel amid reports before of policemen being caught using shabu.
