Controversial police officer Espenido promises to uphold the rule of law despite Duterte's emboldening remark, allowing him to kill drug suspects

Controversial police officer PLtCol. Jovie Espenido on Friday promised to uphold the rule of law despite President Rodrigo Duterte's emboldening remark, allowing him to kill drug suspects.

"At least binigyan tayo ng karapatan ni Presidente. Iyon ang pinaka the best na high morale. Pero ganoon pa man, tayo ang nasa ground. We have our mandate sa batas to protect the lives and property of the people," he told CNN Philippines. Espenido, who gained notoriety for leading deadly operations against drug-linked politicians, said the names of the police officers who carry out drug stings will be on the line if they violate the rights of the suspects.

Espenido was the chief of police of Albuera, Leyte and Ozamiz City when two mayors, Rolando Espinosa, Sr. and Reynaldo Parojinog were killed in police operations in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Espinosa and Parojinog were alleged narcopoliticians.

‘You are free to kill everybody,’ Duterte tells Bacolod police official EspenidoSure ako hindi na naman maiintindihan ng mga ayaw sa patayan 'tong sinabi ni Katay Dee Gong. Pag-aralan nyo kasi ang lengwahe ng mga DDS, ang lengwage ng mga tanga. WOW ! This is not good! We are reliving the martial law era.

‘Go there, you are free to kill everybody,’ Duterte orders Espenido“Bacolod is badly hit (with illegal drugs) now. I placed Espenido there. I said, go there, you are free to kill everybody. Start killing there. Dalawa na lang tayo pa-preso,” Duterte said. Okay abang abang bukas sa translation ni butiking Panelo! No, nobody, police or president is free to kill everybody or anybody. This is illegal which makes Duterte a criminal. Anouncing a crime before, during or after committing it does not make it legal. Bayolente na mamamatay tao pa. Dutz, wala ka bang ibang naiisip na paraan kung hindi ang pumatay?
