MANILA, Philippines — 'Tell him when I see him, I will punch him in the face.'Sen. Ronald de la Rosa had this to say to a self-confessed drug lord who testified before a hearing at the House of Representatives on Friday that the then Philippine National Police chief pressured him to implicate former senator Leila de Lima as a supplier and protector of drug kingpins.
'On his message to Espinosa, de la Rosa said: 'Tell him, 'When I see that, I will punch him in the face. If he can talk like that, if he can talk, you'd think he's clean. Why would he make up a story? Whereas he was very kind when he was in our custody. He's so kind, but now he's saying something.'De Lima said, however, that the senator needed to face the 'reckoning of the truth.
