The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) plans on requesting the Office of the Vice President (OVP) to require its entire security team to take a drug test.
The request sprang from reports after Police Officer 3 Joey Regulacion, who is assigned to Vice President Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo's security team, was removed after his partner, Cheryll Mapula surrendered to authorities after she was alleged to be involved in illegal drugs.
"I think there would be no problem if we suggest a drug test," QCPD chief Senior Supt. Guillermo Eleazar told reporters in a news briefing over the weekend.
Eleazar also suggested that Regulacion undergo another drug test because of his connection to his partner.
Based on an official report from the OVP, Regulacion's partner was on a list of "Oplan Tokhang," which carries out the government's war on illegal drugs. However, no drug paraphernalia were found at Mapula's house.
Robredo said she is saddened that a member of her security team has a been accused of being involved in illegal drugs. She explained that she did not known Regulacion until she heard the news about his partner.
She also said that it was unfortunate that Regulacion's name was "tainted" just because of his partner.
