(Eagle News)– Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa on Monday (November 28) said that alleged drug lord Kerwin Espinosa has revised his accusations against Albuera police Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido.
“In fairness to him, dahan dahang binabawi ni Kerwin yung sinasabi niya. Sabi ni Kerwin the other night, kinausap ko, sabi niya ‘Sa totoo lang sir, matino na pulis ‘yang si Espinido,'” Dela Rosa said in a press conference.
Dela Rosa added that Espinosa mentioned to him that Espenido received money for the budgeting of a church.
“Nasabi ko lang na one time o two times na tumanggap siya ng pera para daw doon sa panggastos sa simbahan nila.”
Dela Rosa also said that Espinosa told him that whenever he would text Espenido regarding the ‘protection’ money, the Albuera police chief would reply by texting him Bible verses.
“’Pag tini-text daw niya ang sagot sa kanya ay puro Biblical verses, ayaw daw kumagat sa drug money,” he said.
Espinosa is still under the custody of the PNP Anti-Illegal Drug Group in Camp Crame.
During the Senate hearing last week, Espinosa accused Espenido of planting evidence. He also accused the latter of attempted murder..
