00:00 Even though he was positive twice in the drug test,
00:03 the head of the Mandaluyong Police was criticized
00:05 for not using illegal drugs.
00:08 The exclusive interview with him was by GMA Integrated News
00:11 in the play of Marisol Abduraman.
00:13 This is what Colonel Cesar Gerente criticized
00:26 when he left the post of the head of the Mandaluyong Police
00:29 and then became positive for drugs.
00:31 Gerente said he was surprised
00:33 by the drug test results he was given on August 24.
00:37 He was told the results were on August 27.
00:40 On August 28, he took the drug test
00:48 in the entire Mandaluyong Police Station
00:50 and he was told to take the drug test again.
00:53 I took the drug test again.
00:55 They told me that it was the same EHD,
01:00 but it was still positive.
01:02 Gerente said that it was possible that the drug operations
01:06 that he was doing and the maintenance of the drugs
01:09 that he was taking were affected by the results.
01:11 I think it was exposure to the evidence
01:15 that we were going to the police operations.
01:22 I saw that my blood sugar was high,
01:25 so there was maintenance of the drugs that I was taking.
01:29 So what he did was he took the drug test in Pideya
01:33 and a DOH accredited testing center on August 29
01:36 and yesterday in NBI.
01:38 Gerente said that all the results were negative.
01:42 He showed us a copy of the results.
01:45 I just want to show that it was in good fit.
01:48 I'm not using it yet.
01:50 Gerente said that his family was deeply affected by what happened.
01:55 My career was ruined.
01:58 My family was affected.
02:02 My children.
02:04 Did anyone text you?
02:07 Did you get in touch with Gerente, the addict?
02:12 I didn't go home to my family.
02:16 My wife and children were fighting.
02:22 Despite this, Gerente hopes that everything will be fine
02:27 and that he will be proven not to be using drugs.
02:30 I love PNP. I will never give.
02:33 We are asking for the reaction of the PNP's chief regarding what Gerente said.
02:37 Yesterday, PNP chief Benjamin Acorda Jr. said that after the trial,
02:42 the police will be dismissed from the drug test.
02:46 According to them, since 2016, more than 500 police officers have been removed from the service
02:52 after having a positive drug test.
02:55 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman,
03:00 Naka Tuto, 24 Hours.
