08 Dec Duterte Says He Won’t Allow Policemen Accused in ‘Espinosa Slay’ To Go To Jail
Despite that it was showed in the investigation conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) that the incident happened in Baybay City, which killed alleged Eastern Visayas drug lord Albuera, Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa, was a murder and not a mere shootout, President Rodrigo Duterte said that he won’t allow the policemen involved to go to jail.
During his speech in an activity for Urban Poor Solidarity Week conducted in Mandaluyong City, Duterte said that the NBI can file a case against the policemen yet he is ready to defend them.
Quoting Duterte, “Ang finding ng pulis … murder… ay NBI. Good. Ako, naniniwala … sa police. Ang mga mayor, sino ba ang pinapaniwalaan nila? Police o ang mayor? Kung ano ang sinabi ng pulis, iyan ang totoo sa akin.”
“May finding sila? Good. [I]-File nila ang kaso. Pero hindi ko pabayaan ang mga pulis na ito kasi ako ang may utos eh,” Duterte added.
