Shocking Revelations: Kerwin Espinosa Claims Dela Rosa Coerced Confession to Implicate De Lima

Former drug lord Kerwin Espinosa alleges that Senator Bato Dela Rosa threatened his life and family to force him into false admissions regarding the drug trade.

Economic Surge /

In a dramatic turn of events during the ongoing congressional investigations into drug-related extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, former drug lord Rolan Eslabon "Kerwin" Espinosa has made serious allegations against Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa. During the eighth House quadcom hearing on October 11, Espinosa claimed that Dela Rosa, who previously served as the chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and is often referred to as the architect of the controversial drug war, coerced him into implicating former Senator Leila De Lima and businessman Peter Lim in the illegal drug trade. This revelation not only raises questions about the integrity of the drug war but also casts a long shadow over the actions of law enforcement during a tumultuous period in Philippine history.

--- --- The Allegations Against Dela Rosa Espinosa's testimony has reignited discussions surrounding the Duterte administration's aggressive anti-drug campaign. He claimed that Dela Rosa threatened both his life and that of his family if he did not comply with orders to confess to involvement in drug trafficking alongside De Lima and Lim. The implications of such coercion are grave, suggesting a systematic abuse of power within the ranks of law enforcement under the previous administration. In a chilling recount of Dela Rosa's threats, Espinosa stated, “Sumunod ka sa plano, kung sino ang babanggitin mo para maligtas ang buhay mo. Kung ayaw mong sumunod, ikaw na ang susunod sa tatay mo or isa sa miyembro ng pamilya mo ay may mangyaring masama.” This translates to: “Follow the plan and name whoever you’re told to, if you want to save your life. If you refuse, you’ll end up like your father, or something bad will happen to one of your family members.” Context of the Drug War The Philippine drug war, launched under former President Rodrigo Duterte, has been marked by widespread violence and allegations of extrajudicial killings. The release of the narco-list, which included names of suspected drug traffickers and those allegedly involved in the drug trade, significantly impacted the lives of many, including Espinosa's father, Rolando Espinosa, who was killed in a police operation after being named on the list. This tragic history only adds gravity to Kerwin Espinosa's claims and the narrative of fear and intimidation that characterized the drug war. The Implications for De Lima Former Senator Leila De Lima has been a vocal critic of the drug war, and her name has frequently surfaced in connection with allegations of drug trafficking. Espinosa's allegations could potentially reshape the discourse surrounding her legal battles and the accusations against her. If proven, Dela Rosa's coercive tactics would not only undermine the credibility of the investigations but also highlight the potential for misuse of power within law enforcement agencies. ---

As noted by human rights advocate and legal expert, Atty. Chel Diokno, “The integrity of our justice system hinges on the truth, and any attempt to manipulate testimonies, especially through coercion, undermines the very foundations of democracy. The allegations made by Espinosa must be thoroughly investigated to ensure accountability.”

The allegations made by Kerwin Espinosa against Senator Bato Dela Rosa bring to light the troubling dynamics of power, fear, and coercion that permeated the Philippines' drug war era. As the hearings continue, the implications of these revelations could have far-reaching effects on public perception, legal accountability, and the future of law enforcement in the Philippines. The call for transparency and justice remains crucial as the nation seeks to reckon with its past and safeguard the integrity of its institutions moving forward.
