'We all heard him (Espinosa).... pointing directly to Bato. So, I'm not really surprised,' De Lima says
From the moment Espinosa pinned her to illegal drugs eight years ago, up to the present time when he gave additional information about the conspiracy against her, De Lima said her forgiveness has remained unchanged.
“So, but now, we all heard him last Friday pointing directly to Bato. So, I’m not really surprised,” she added. Before this, Dela Rosa had already been implicated in the drug war that killed as many asThis likewise surfaced in the months-long probe of the House mega-panel looking into former president Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war, along with extrajudicial killings in the country, and illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators.“Tell him, if I see him, I will punch his face. He’s a mother fucker.
Nevertheless, it was true that Dela Rosa was among the police officers who fetched him in the airport. The then-PNP chief led the police delegation that welcomed Espinosa back to the country. Dela Rosa himself also confirmed he spoke to a “very nervous” Espinosa after the alleged drug lord boarded the flight headed back to country, adding that he spoke to Espinosa to “calm him down.”What’s new in Espinosa’s affidavit is his pointing to Dela Rosa as the one who forced him to pin De Lima.
After returning to Albuera, Espinosa said his father lived inside the police station. It was while his father was under police custody that cops raided their home in August 2016. The police claimed they seized drugs, firearms, and explosives. Espinosa disputed the allegations, saying that a group of women cleaned their house and testified that there were no drugs nor illegal firearms inside the Espinosa residence.
