NEW PCG COMMANDANT UNDERGO DRUG TESTING!
 
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) officials led by newly-appointed PCG Commandant Admiral Edmund C. Tan underwent voluntary drug testing to ensure that everybody is negative from illegal substances.

Tan said that he was happy to see the full cooperation of the officers during the said drug testing and it is interesting to note that all results revealed negative traces of illegal drugs.

“This move of the command was in view of the mandated task of the PCG as law enforcer who also interdicts illegal use, transport and manufacture of illegal drugs that Coast Guard must set an example to be drug-free organization,” Tan said.

A total of 57 PCG officers headed by the new commandant voluntarily submitted themselves in the said drug testing.

Tan also said, the measure will be a continuing process and will be randomly conducted to other PCG officers and non-officers nationwide.

After the drug testing, the new commandant gave his guidance and lay down some projects that are perceived to be doable during his term with the help of PCG.

“The satisfaction of our customers (the maritime stakeholders) in complying with national and international standards, through excellent and quality service,” Tan said.

The projects will be anchored with the commands’ vision of ensuring a safe, clean and secure maritime environment.
