Clergy urges Espenido: Expose anomalies about Rody's drug war
By J.Lo
"Declare whatever wrong you have done because you followed corrupt…you can still give justice to drug war victims..." Roman Catholic Fr. Flavie Villanueva, founder of Program Paghilom, called Lt. Col. Jovie Espenido to continue exposing anomalies in war on drugs during Duterte administration.
Villanueva, priest known for helping kin of victims of extrajudicial killings appealed to controversial police official Espenido to continue exposing anomalies in war on drugs during Duterte administration.
Villanueva said police officers should not let Philippine National Police (PNP) be proven as "biggest crime group" – as Espenido described – that only follows orders from officials of the previous administration.
Villanueva also said statements of Espenido and other cops could be vital in unraveling execution of the war on drugs by former president Rodrigo Duterte and Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa, who was then PNP chief.
During House hearing, Espenido confirmed reward and quota system during war on drugs, and that "neutralizing" illegal drugs also meant killing persons involved in illegal drug trade.
He added testimonies of Espenido and others were proof that the truth was already coming out in the open, police officers involved should take advantage of.
Villanueva's Program Paghilom has helped estimated 300 families of victims of war on drugs through various programs, including establishment of memorial site for victims at the La Loma Cemetery in Quezon City.
Meanwhile, the Philippine National Police Academy Alumni Association Inc. has expressed concern over Espenido's declaration that PNP is biggest crime group in the country.
7,637-strong PNPA alumni said Espenido's broad and generalized accusation not only tarnished police force's reputation but also undermined dedication of thousands of police officers who are working to serve and protect public.
