From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 11): Army officers undergo surprise drug test

CAMP MELCHOR DELA CRUZ, GAMU -- Setting an example to its soldiers against illegal drug use, the Army officers in this camp submitted themselves to a surprise drug test held Monday.

5th Infantry Division, Philippine Army Commander B/Gen. Paul Atal, together with his staff officers and unit commanders, underwent the drug test facilitated by the medical staff of the camp.

“Let us do our part as military officers and set a good example to our soldiers that we are free from illegal drugs,” Atal said.

He said the organization is guided as professionally disciplined to guard the sovereignty of the state and shall be looked up to as a model of all.

Atal said soldiers who are using illegal drugs have no place in the organization and he will cleanse the organization and dismiss any soldier found to be positive of illegal drug use.
