"He was given chance to challenge result of drug test," source said in interview on ranking police official relieved from his post and is undergoing investigation after he tested positive during random drug test.
PNP commissioned officer is assigned in Metro Manila, among police officers underwent random drug testing last week.
Police general, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said CO was removed from his post over the weekend after he was found positive for drug use based on examination of his urine samples.
CO was placed on floating status and will be subjected to confirmatory testing using same urine samples.
Source said there are instances when confirmatory results would show negative result.

Should second test show CO is drug user, he will undergo summary dismissal proceedings.

First test was conducted on Aug. 22,2023 involving 359 police officers, one of whom tested positive.

Drug test was also conducted on 497 police officers assigned to Mandaluyong City police station but all of them were cleared.
Salas said those who were found positive have 15 days to challenge results of drug tests.
Police officers will undergo pre-charge investigation and summary administrative proceedings.
