00:20Here is the first news.
00:25This Wednesday, Kerwin Espinosa signed his Certificate of Candidacy for his local position in Albuera, Leyte.
00:31This is the position held by his father, Rolando Espinosa, before he was killed in 2016 after he filed an arrest warrant in Celda.
00:40They were previously involved with the former President Rodrigo Duterte in illegal drug trade.
00:43After a few years, Kerwin wanted to reopen his father's case in exchange for his cooperation with the government and the International Criminal Court
00:52so that he could prove the extrajudicial killing in the drug war of the Duterte administration.
00:56If the Congress or whoever helped me to revive that case, I hope they can help me and I am willing to cooperate to prove the A.G.K.
01:19According to Espinosa, he was just threatened by the PNP chief and now Sen. Bato De La Rosa to confess as a drug lord.
01:25De La Rosa refused.
01:27I did not do anything to him. In fact, he was released, right?
01:33All he said is lies. What did I do to him? Why did I pressurize him?
01:39The former President Duterte has yet to agree to Espinosa's statement, but he is willing to run.
01:45Erwin, long live. I hope you win.
