Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa on Monday expressed alarm over the number of policemen who tested positive for drugs. Dela Rosa said in a press conference in Camp Crame that nine have tested positive out of 2,405 policemen who were subjected to drug testing since July 1.
Just imagine ang ratio and proportion nito, out of 2,405 may nine na nag-positive. Mataas ito na percentage,” he said. He added: “Sinabi ko na I have zero tolerance on drugs tapos may nine nag-positive, mataas ito.
Alarming ito.” He said that this proves reports that policemen are involved in the illegal drug trade. Dela Rosa had said that policemen who will test positive in the drug tests will be dismissed from the service. The PNP, meanwhile, said that the nine policemen who tested positive will undergo confirmatory tests.

They will be dismissed from the service if their confirmatory tests will turn out positive. Policemen nationwide will be tested for shabu and marijuana use through urine samples.
The 160,000-strong PNP said that the drug tests will continue until all policemen have been tested. After assuming the PNP leadership on Friday, Dela Rosa gave policemen involved in the illegal drug trade to surredner in 48 hours. “We will be relentless in our cleansing efforts to eliminate scalawags in our ranks, mga nagko-kotong, sindikato, at mga tamad na pulis, bilang na ang mga araw ninyo lalo na kayong mga pulis sa Metro Manila na kayo na nagyayabang na kayo ay ninja.
I am giving you 48 hours to voluntarily surrender to me,” Dela Rosa said upon assumption of the PNP leadership. This is in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s promise to go all-out against illegal drugs to lessen criminality in the country.
