Retired police Colonel Edilberto Leonardo corroborated the two affidavits submitted by ex-Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) general manager
Maricel CruzRetired police Colonel Edilberto Leonardo corroborated the two affidavits submitted by ex-Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office general manager Royina Garma during a House Quad Committee hearing that lasted well past midnight Tuesday.
“Second question, also answerable by yes or no. Do you believe that there was a rewards system ? Yes or no,” Abante asked. This incident is connected to the alleged murder of Albuera town mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. inside the prison facility. Garma, a retired police Lieutenant Colonel who spent a huge part of her career with the Davao City Police, confirmed the existence of the DDS, a group long suspected of carrying out EJKs in Duterte’s hometown.
“It was common knowledge among officers that almost all station commanders had special teams designated for specific operations. Although I did not know the identities of these teams, a culture of silence prevailed among police officers in Davao regarding such matters,” she further narrated. Garma said the cash rewards for drug-related killings ranged from P20,000 to P1 million, depending on the target.
