Eastern Mindanao Command Lt. Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero has ordered mandatory drug testing to his troops as part of the anti-illegal drugs campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte.

General Guerrero said that he ordered all his commanders to intensify the drug testing of soldiers in the Eastern Mindanao Command.

According to Guerrero, the mandatory drug testing aims to rid-off the EMC of ‘scalawags’ in uniform.

Gen. Guerrero added that he has already ordered his commander to strengthen their operations against illegal drugs and terror groups in Mindanao.

The EMC should be able to help the Philippine National Police in their fights against illegal drugs.
