Gen. Eduardo A\u00f1o on Tuesday confirmed beleaguered Marine Lt. Col. Ferdinand Marcelino was sharing information on illegal drug activities with the PA Intelligence and Security Group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">He added that this sharing of information is part of Marcelino&#8217;s crusade against illegal drugs which is also in line with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)&#8217;s efforts to identify military personnel taking narcotics or involved in drug-trafficking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">The project is known as &#8220;Oplan Moses&#8221; in the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and &#8220;Oplan Midas&#8221; in the AFP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">&#8220;Lt. Col. Marcelino, because of his extensive experience ( in the campaign against illegal drugs) shares information with us and other intelligence agencies from time to time,&#8221; A\u00f1o said in Filipino.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">The PA chief made the statement when asked about the certification the Army Intelligence and Security Group issued regarding Marcelino&#8217;s sharing of information against illegal drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">This was submitted by Marcelino&#8217;s legal counsel, Atty. Dennis Manalo, to the Department of Justice on Jan. 22.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">A\u00f1o is hopeful that this certification will show Marcelino&#8217;s personal crusade and convictions against the illegal narcotics trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">However, the PA chief said he does not know on whether this will justify the latter&#8217;s presence in Felix Huertas corner Batangas Streets, Sta. Cruz, Manila on Jan. 21 where 64 kilograms or PHP320 million worth of shabu were seized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">Also arrested in the operation conducted by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) was 33-year-old Chinese national Yan Yi Shou.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">&#8220;Those are legal matters, and investigations are being conducted by PDEA and other agencies, by this time they should have collaborating information that support the accusations against Marcelino,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u2014Philippine Army commander Lt.
