News commentary by Raïssa Robles
Today, a senator’s spurned lover told the nation how he was ordered to pick up drug payoffs for the senator while she was then the country’s Secretary of Justice.
Yesterday, a police general wept as one of the most wanted men implicated a whole raft of senior police officers and the same senator in the hyper lucrative illegal drugs trade.
The back-to-back testimonies of self-confessed drug lord Kerwin Espinosa and Ronnie Dayan – the former driver-bodyguard-lover of Senator Leila de Lima – proved to be more riveting and sordid than prime time telenovelas.
But beyond titillating a nation, both testimonies raise very serious questions about the truth and President Rodrigo Duterte’s “drug war”.
Kerwin Espinosa dated his five meetings with Dayan in late 2015 to February 2016. But today, Dayan insisted in his testimony before the House that he only met with Kerwin four times and these all took place in 2014 because he said that by February 2015, he and Leila de Lima had split up. Congressman Alfrdo Garbin, Jr. was the first to stress these differences in Kerwin’s and Dayan’s testimonies.
Both cannot be telling the truth.
One way to test who is lying is to ask Kerwin to produce the cellphone number of Dayan and the calls he and Dayan made to each other, if indeed they had ever done so. Because Dayan has a different description of the arrangement. He told the House committee that he “never” ever communicated directly with Kerwin. Dayan said only De Lima had phoned Kerwin in all their meetings together.
I found Kerwin’s testimony highly intriguing. During his testimony yesterday, the 38-year-old entrepreneur of illegal substances was the exact opposite of Edgar Matobato, 57, the hired assassin who turned whistleblower. In HIS testimony before the Senate months ago, Matobato looked everyone in the eye, including the police officers he had implicated in extrajudicial killings. Kerwin for the most part kept his head down and his eyes averted.
Matobato implicated President Rodrigo Duterte in a heinous crime. Kerwin did the same with Philippine opposition senator Leila de Lima. And yet Kerwin’s testimony, and the cascade of events that it could yet trigger, has more potential for damaging Duterte’s “war” on drugs.
First, Kerwin denied that a “blue book” or “pink book” ever existed. This was the “blue book” that Albuera town police Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido had earlier crowed about. The police claimed they seized the blue book from the house of Kerwin’s late father, Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa, Sr., three months ago. Albuera police chief Espenido claimed the “blue book” identified Senator De Lima and even actor Richard Gomez as getting protection money from Kerwin.
Before Kerwin’s testimony yesterday, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre indicated that he believed Inspector Espenido’s version of events. Aguirre even hinted to the media that Kerwin would name Senator De Lima.
“Talagang may posibilidad dahil dun sa kanilang blue book at pink book na ginawa ng mag-ama ay talagang number one si De Lima na protector ng mga drug lord at drug-related activities. Hindi ako magugulat kung itong si Kerwin ay i-reiterate niya yung nasa affidavit ng kanyang ama.”
The last thing that Justice Aguirre, Chief Inspector Espenido, and fellow Chief Inspector Leo Laraga (who had earlier admitted firing the fatal shot that killed Kerwin’s father) probably expected was that Kerwin would accuse both officers on national TV as having extorted protection money from him in the millions of pesos.
Was Kerwin merely avenging the cold-blooded execution of his father by these two policemen? At any rate in his testimony he named many other police officers allegedly involved in illegal drugs.
Philippine National Police Director General Ronald “Bato” de la Rosa had reason to weep yesterday. He confessed that it was he who had assigned Chief Inspector Espenido to the post of Albuera police chief. De la Rosa told Senator Migz Zubiri: “Your Honor, I cannot blame the public if they are losing trust and confidence in their police because I myself, sabi mo nga, di mo na nga alam kung sinong pagkatiwalaan.”
By saying that, De la Rosa had unwittingly put his finger in the heart of the drug problem. The main problem is not the number of drug addicts in the country. The main problem is the corruption in the police force and the local governments – the policemen, mayors and other officials who look the other way or profit from drug deals.
If Kerwin was telling the truth yesterday, the message he brought home to the nation was that some of the officers who are now conducting “Oplan Tokhang” are the very same officers who are part of the drug networks. Oplan Tokhang is the Duterte government’s program to knock at every door of alleged drug addicts, drug lords and traffickers and tell them to stop, physically surrender to the nearest authorities and admit wrongdoing.
In other words, Oplan Tokhang which seems to target mainly drug addicts, is the wrong way to stop the drug menace because the number of drug addicts in the country is not the main problem. The main problem is the dirty cops and local officials who are secretly part of the illegal drugs industry – the same enforcers who are doing the knocking on the doors of the alleged addicts.
Since Duterte assumed office nearly five months ago, the same dirty cops have been freely running around using “Oplan Tokhang” to kill or intimidate potential witnesses.
Yesterday, even Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre agreed with Senator Franklin Drilon (a former Justice Secretary himself) that the killing of Kerwin’s father was “premeditated” and an “overkill”. In other words, it was a form of extra-judicial killing.
The problem is that Aguirre’s boss, President Rodrigo Duterte, seems to have cleared the police in the Espinosa killing of any wrongdoing. Two weeks ago on November 11 – even before a preliminary investigation was conducted – Duterte said:
“Let me state my case as the Chief Executive of the Executive branch. I believe in the version of the police. They have evidence to prove otherwise, then a case should be filed against the police.
But as I have said before, right at the start, very early on sa administration ko, I will protect and I will support the police in this drive against shabu.”
The police had told the media that they killed Espinosa inside his jail cell during a firefight.
Yesterday, the Senate committee headed by Senator Richard Gordon learned that the probe on the Espinosa killing had hardly moved in the Philippine National Police Internal Affairs Service (IAS), which investigates all killings by policemen, whether or not done in the line of duty.
Was PNP-IAS afraid of issuing a decision that would contradict Duterte? Or just plain overwhelmed by all the cases of cop killings?
Just recently, President Duterte waved in front of reporters a very thick folder that he said contained names of drug lords and their coddlers in and out of government. How many of these names were contributed by dirty cops?
Region 8 – where Kerwin said he once operated a drug network – is not even in the list of most drug-affected regions.
Senators could perhaps get to the bottom of this drug menace by conducting hearings on the most affected region – Metro Manila or the National Capital Region. Who are the Kerwin Espinosas of NCR?
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
I have been asked what I thought of Senator Leila de Lima.
Whether or not she is a drug protector it is very obvious that she has balls of steel.
She has been publicly shamed and called an “adulterer” and drug protector. She has been insulted here and abroad by no less than President Duterte.
Is she innocent or guilty?
I would have believed Ronnie Dayan, if only his dates matched with those of Kerwin Espinosa. Kerwin was more detailed. Dayan’s testimony was on the whole vague. He claimed he did not know that Kerwin was a drug lord or that De Lima was getting payoffs.
I am still waiting for direct evidence that would pin De Lima down. For instance, bank records or direct testimony from sources who would not benefit from testifying against her. Unfortunately, all those inmates who testified against her at the House hearing would benefit from having testified against her in the form, perhaps, of shortened jail sentences or faster parole or even presidential pardon.
It was in their interest to implicate De Lima. In contrast, it was not in Matobato’s interest to testify against Duterte.
It is of course within the realm of possibility that De Lima had received drug money for her election campaign. Just as she admitted to “frailty” as a woman for having an affair with her driver/bodyguard, she could have succumbed as well to getting easy money.
However, there is one thing that bothers me about Duterte’s accusation against De Lima. Long before all these allegations were raised about her involvement in illegal drugs De Lima had investigated Duterte for the spate of extra-judicial killings in Davao City.
At that time, she was the Philippine Human Rights Commission chair appointed by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Duterte was Arroyo’s presidential adviser on heinous crimes.
The fact was that killings were taking place in Davao City where Duterte was the mayor. United Nations special rapporteur Philip Alston even came to the Philippines in 2007 to conduct an inquiry over possible state-sanctioned killings. In the process, Alston also looked at what was happening in Davao.
So De Lima was really not the only one looking into those killings. However, she was the lone Philippine official who dared to call Duterte out on those killings in 2009. This was during administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who had appointed De Lima to the CHR post.
And that gives Duterte plenty of personal motive to destroy De Lima.
To read about De Lima’s probe of Duterte, read this story – Duterte fires back at CHR over Davao killings
lydia says
This is off topic, but I am wondering…. Now that the Ombudsman has begun the probe vs Duterte, will she be the next target of Duterte’s irrational ire and vengeance? Will a move to impeach begin? But will the fact that the Ombudsman is the aunt of Sara Duterte’s husband temper his wrath against women and against being investigated?

@Lydia
There is a new religion rising and it is called Dutertianism.
Its immediate aim is to defeat and silence Christianity and impose a new immoral order centered on what is the pleasure of Duterte.
If you love your religion and value it, convince your pastor or priests that it is important to rise up in your religion’s defense -or fall into irrelevance.
Convince them to organize your parish or districts or whatever unit you work with and join the people’s protest on Nov. 30.

When D5 finally admitted to having an affair with ronnie dayan, sen. delima attributed the indiscretion to the “frailties of a woman”
This seems at odds with the gender card she was playing previously, in the weeks when one witness after another linked her to a host of drug lords. While playing that card, she described the House hearings and DOJ investigations as acts of bullying against a woman – cynically claiming persecution because of her gender.
Now she undermines the gender narrative by speaking of the “frailties of a woman.” That is such a misogynist phrase to use, it falls into the strong man/weak woman dichotony that is the staple of the patriarchy x-x-x-

De Lima is indestructible because she is on the side of truth.
You can hurt her body but you can not touch her spirit. Her fight is not hers alone but of all Filipinos who love truth and freedom for our country.
Nitpicking on her statement about “woman frailty” shows you are running out of ammo to destroy her but the people are now beginning to close in on your camp.
You can try more desperate moves but it will not change the fact that you are wrong. You are guilty. And unlike your pet enemy the peace and prayer obsessed ‘dilawan’, this time people have learned and understand the need for swift justice.

de lima’s past history of womanly frailty is being taken as invitation for the lower house to gang up on her: roque, castro, farinas, et al,.
greenpea is right, those ganging up on de lima can barely connect her with drug trafficking, kaya nagbelow the belt sila at nag-fiesta duon: the low and lower life still.
lower house should apologize to the whole nation, show that they have better and higher morals. kung pelikula ang ginawa nila, hindi sila papasok sa mmff, napakasubstandard ang nagawa.

aquirre can only wear wig, but de lima is martyr, she’s indestructible! our prayers and ardent wishes will make her strong. martyrs have weaknesses too, just as de lima has weakness, but she’ll rise above the mediocre. she is seeking to stop ejk, give justice where there is not justice. de lima is martyr. stop ejk, killing drug suspect is not fight against drug, but fight against people.
if digong is serious in fighting against drugs he should look 1st within the ranks of the kapolisan, and cut off their drug connection, cut off their drug supply, and cut through their thick lies so tiered, bato can only cry.

In not too distant future, an array of charges will be filed against D5 by the DOJ, upon complaint of VACC, for immorality/adultery, abetting/protecting illegal drug trade in the Bilibid and by other known drug lords outside of the penitentiary, disbarment, obstruction of justice, etc backed-up by the money trails from the AMLC.
D5 will surely deny the accusations but the court will decide on the merits of the evidence presented as meticulously gathered by the DOJ.
Assuming D5 will be disbarred, she’ll continue to sit as a senator unless the Ombudsman dismiss her like joel villanueva based on the charges by the DOJ

Just discovered something
Did De5 really made that text message being showed?
After some experiment and testing, i doubt

Here is what i did
1. Download and installed on my phone “Fake Call and Text Message SMS” from google play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fakecallandsms2016.fakecall&hl=en
2. Open the application from my phone
3. Select “Make Msg” from the setting option
4 on the name option select the name of the contact that i wish to appear at the sender
5 on the number option i entered my number (or the receiver)
6 press “save”
result the message was received on my phone (regular msg box)with the id and number of the fake sender
kalakala says
hindi pinabasa kay dayan ang buong cp no. ng sender pero noong anak na nya hinayaan lang ng mga congressmen na basahin ang buong no. at sinabi pa nila na tama iyong cp no. kasi iyon ang ginagamit na contact no. ni de5.
am just wondering bakit iyon pa arin ang cp no. ni de5 after what happened during the previous gongress hearing. nagpalit nang matitirhan bakit hindi sya nagpalit ng bagong cp no? does the script writer forgot what happened before that thousands of hate messages were sent to de5?
or eventhough dayan & de5 were already separated and stop their relationship but, still in communication with each other using de5 new cp no.?
can anybody compare these two cp no. of de5?
kalakala says
senate hearing instead of previous congress hearing
sam says
De5 might be using a new number and the message shown was from her old number which they knew. But, how did that message got into Dayan’s daughter’s phone with De5’s number and ID? … It can be done. Farinas already know that there is such a message and use it against de5. But did the message really came from De5? I guess not. My experiment showed me that there is a very simple way without any additional gadget.
kalakala says
a good if not very good piece of evidence from the service provider that am sure de5 has to request from.

What if Duterte is into drugs? by Jude Josue Sabio
WHAT if it is Duterte who is the drug lord? What if the slain Mayor Espinosa knew Duterte as the top drug lord but was forced to admit de Lima to be the drug lord? What if Mayor Espinosa was killed because he would squeal on Duterte, and retract his statement against Sen. Leila de Lima? What if Duterte’s “I hate drugs” is downright false, a hypocrisy, cover up?
In the Senate, Edgar Matobato alleged that Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte is a drug user and is a friend to big Chinese drug lords. He also testified that no big-time drug lords or personalities were ever harmed or killed in Davao. In one of her remarks on media, Sen. de Lima was quoted as asking why Duterte has to pivot to China when most of the drugs in the country come from China.
———————
In the drug war recently, two alleged high-profile drug lords–Mayor Dimaukom of Maguindanao and Mayor Espina of Leyte–were killed. From the looks of it, these twin killings were projected to showcase Duterte’s strategy in the Oplan Double Barrel that not only drug pushers but also high-profile drug lords would be neutralized in the war against drugs.
But is Duterte’s public pronouncement that “I hate drugs” really true? Does he appear to be what he really is based on his words? Or is his statement just for a cover-up? Or is there something cleverly hidden behind those words that makes him not really what he professes to be in public? To be blunt about it, is there something that shows him to be a drug personality himself?
———————————–
It is indeed scary to think that maybe Duterte is not what he appears to be. Behind the façade of his strong and violent hatred against the drug menace may lie something sinister or evil about Duterte. One may just look at how he easily blurts out names from his drug list as if he knows them from Adam.
Why does he know them that well? Is it because he is very familiar with the trade and the personalities behind it? Why does he pursue and neutralize some among many? Is it because he wants only people who are friends to him to continue with the trade? Or does he hate shabu but plays favorite with other drugs in the market?

It is too bad that Gabriela has been failing women on this front. Women, especially those advocacy groups, should sue these congressmen for espousing misogyny, harassment of women. Their attacks are not confined to De Lima’s person but they are assaulting womanhood in general. They must be accountable. They demonstrate basal demeanour.
The congressmen who asked those stupid questions, including Farinas and his deputy should be charged as well for failing to regulate the conduct in this investigation. In fact, I think they were asking the stupid questions themselves. Farinas, so called lawyer, failed miserably to conduct themselves appropriately. Much is expected of him.
They must apologize to the Filipino people, especially to women and to De Lima for their boorish attitude and they stop their crude and shameful behaviour ASAP.
And may I also add, the lawyers of Dayan should be able to coach Dayan not to answer when asked inappropriate questions. I know it is a quasi court but it shouldn’t be an excuse to tolerate such awful conduct.
Shame to the barbaric congressmen who continue to live with the mentality of the dark ages. What they try to probe in Dayan is a reflection of their depravity, their inner core–orgasm envy!

It is true as the saying goes that “THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE” however in the case President Rodrigo Duterte the truth shall land him and the people love to kiss his butt in jail. That is rightfully where they belong.
Duterte is guilty of extra judicial killings, guilty of collaborating with the Marcoses, guilty of being in cahoots with Glroria Macapagal-Arroyo, guilty of wasting the government coffers to finance the Duterte online warriors ( Pete Lavinia Tiu – your days are numbered ) , guilty of selling off of the Scarborough shoals to China who financed his campaign, guilty of deceiving the Filipinos on his secret Bank accounts.
