Eastern Visayas drug kingpin Kerwin Espinosa flew back to the country more than a month after fleeing to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), vowing to reveal everything he knows now that his father, Albuera, Leyte mayor Rolando Espinosa, is dead.
Kerwin arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on board Philippine Airlines Flight 657 from Abu Dhabi at 3.41am Friday, and was later presented to the media by Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald de la Rosa.
From NAIA, Espinosa was whisked by the PNP to its headquarters in Camp Crame in Quezon City, where he was booked and later detained at the PNP Custodial Centre.
Espinosa had feared for his life after the killing of his father Rolando inside a Leyte jail by a raiding team from the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group last November 5.
But he said the PNP had guaranteed his safety.
“With my situation now that my father is gone, I can assure (the president) that I will reveal all the names of all those involved in drugs,” Kerwin, speaking in Filipino, told reporters in Camp Crame.
