Actor Mark Anthony Fernandez tests positive for marijuana, negative for shabu


Actor Mark Anthony Fernandez tested positive for using marijuana but not for shabu, a GMA News report said.

Fernandez underwent a drug test after he was arrested in Angeles City, Pampanga on Monday when a kilo of marijuana was found on him at police checkpoint. 

Fernandez claimed that he had no idea where the illegal drugs came from.

Meanwhile, a copy of the drug test result was posted by GMA News TV reporter Jun Veneracion on Twitter.

Veneracion also posted a photo of Scene of the Crime Operatives conducting an inspection of Fernandez's vehicle.

A "Balitanghali" report on Tuesday said the results of the drug test and the vehicle inspection will be used against Fernandez, son of actress Alma Moreno and the late actor Rudy Fernandez.

In an interview with Veneracion on "Balitanghali," the secretary of Moreno said the actress cannot visit her son yet due to hypertension.

The secretary also said no family member has visited the actor yet.

However, Veneracion, on Twitter, posted a photo of Fernandez being visited by his reported partner.

Meanwhile, a lawyer also went to the station advising members of the media and the public to give Fernandez some privacy. — Erwin Colcol/VVP, GMA News
