    Why was he asking for protection? Who was he asking protection from? Why did the PNP chief only kick him out of the house and not arrest him? (Wasn't there already a warrant out for his arrest? Why in hell would a police chief allow a known/suspected drug manufacturer/dealer to camp out in their house?) Wtf was the guy going to do with bomb making material? (Obviously for making bombs...but...why, just why? Shooting someone is just to old school?) Was he actually attacked/injured while in the hospital or did he finally realize he's finished and is now going to play the "I'm too sick to do hard time in prison" card Filipino politicians love to play?

    If they go forward with charges on this guy i wouldn't be surprised if he wound up being found dead in his hospital room due to an apparent "suicide". Someone at his level likely knows far too much and could likely bring down half of the political elite in the entire Provence of he opened his mouth.

    What a difference a week makes. This is a quote from August 3: "He also rejected insinuations that he was a drug dealer and a protector of drug lords. - See more at: Tearful Espinosa tells son: Surrender, Duterte will help us.

    Denial is such a great legal plea when accepted by the protective justice system and media along with a little grease. He did not protect drug lords, just protected their stash. It really is more fun in the Philippines.....

    Albuera mayor comes Cebu - The drug trafficking suspect Albuera Mayor Rolanda Espinosa Sr. is on Saturday with the flight PR 1853 at 13:05 am Manila Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) arrived. The Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa had announced on Friday the need (see Article 08/06/2016) of the departing from the Albuera mayor and his family on Saturday from the White House. The head of the Aviation Security Unit Senior Superintendent Ritchie Posada confirms Espinosa Sr. has arrived and has left the airport in an ambulance. His wife Emma answered the press when asked where her husband is. "God is with us, Jesus is with us" Because of minutes later the family left in a taxi to the airport.

    The son of Espinosa is the main suspect in this, he fled to Malaysia. dela Rosa demanded from him to surrender and now, by putting his family (parents and sister ) in danger he hopes to lure him in. I'm pretty sure that the family , wherever they are, are kept under close observation.
    Note: I'm getting this all from <klajoo.com> A german site with good info. The site is in german but the Google translator will do a reasonable job in translating in a kind of Englisch.
