“I do not remember any instance or occasion of having met him. I categorically, firmly, and absolutely deny having received any money—any cash—from Mr. Kerwin Espinosa, either directly or indirectly through anyone else, in any occasion at any time, whether that money is supposedly for either protection or fundraising for campaign expenses.”
This is the statement of Senator Leila de Lima when she talked to reporters after the Senate hearing of the committee on public order was adjourned.
She addressed her colleagues to deny the revelation made by Kerwin Espinosa in the senate probe surrounding the death of the elder Espinosa.
“Let me say this to my colleagues here, and everyone in this hall, and to everyone listening and watching these proceedings… I say this to you: I categorically, firmly, and absolutely deny having known Mr. Kerwin Espinosa.”
Meanwhile, a photo of then DOJ Secretary de Lima shared with the family members of a netizen photo sender taken in Baguio City surfaces online to debunk the senator’s statement that she did not meet Kerwin in any occasion.
The netizen shared the pic of her Aunt taken with then DOJ Sec. Leila de Lima in Burnham Park on November 19, 2015.
Curiously, the date and the location mentioned by Kerwin Espinosa matches with the timeline when the pic of the sender shared by de Lima, her Mom and aunt was taken in Baguio City.
The caption reads:
Hey Ms. Leila de Lima, what are you saying na lahat na sinabi ni Kerwin are lies? My mom and tita were there at the time. Di ba sa Burnham Park to? This was taken November 19, 2015. Kaya pala iba ang ngiti mo? (She is wearing the same outfit nung picture nila ni Kerwin below.)
The pic first appeared on the FB Page “Balitang Totoo” and has generated more than 2,000 shares, an hour after it was published.
What can you say about this post?
Paano nya makilala at maaalala eh si BATMAN ang pinakilala sa kanya ni SWEETIE, hindi naman Kerwin. lol
If it smells like a fish, looks like a fish and taste like a fish. Then, a big chance, it is a fish!
A ROTTEN fish as that!!!
Submit her to a lie detector test
Ang depensa ni D5 sa picture nila ni Kerwin ay “kahit sino pinagbbigyan nya magpapicture sa kanya kasi election at kilala syang tao”. At dahil nilabas mo yang isang picture na nagpapicture tita at mama mo…..mas lalong titibay dahilan ni d5 na nagpapapicture nga sya sa mga gustong magpapicture sa kanya. Sayang huli na sana.
In these photos, I see “ordinary” people taking pictures with a “popular” individual. Should the woman in the middle personally know Kerwin (as this article wants to prove), she should also personally know your “mom and tita” and all other people who had taken pictures with her on that event. Does that sound politically correct?
Just to be clear, I’m not proD5… Doesn’t the other photo just prove that she was having her photos taken that day with strangers. This is quite common when you are campaigning.
So ibig sabihin yung tiata at mom nitong babae nato kilala din ni De lima ganun ba? hala baka kasabwat din sila,imbestigahan din mga yan!! wahahah
Those pictures confirmed Kerwin’s story that he met D5 in Baguio as promised by Dayan. Remember that earlier, D5 denied having met or known Kerwin. The other photos of D5 with the two ladies taken on the same exact date, with the same dress worn has established Kerwin’s story as true and D5’s denial as false. Simple as that.
pumunta lang ng baguio si DOJ SEC,,, DELEMA PARA KUNIN LANG YONG PERA NA BIGAY NG DRUGLORD NA SI KERWIN,, AT TAYO PA MGA PILIPINO ANG GUMASTO NG GASOLINA PARA DON,,,,BELEB TALAGA AKO SA TALINO NG SENADOR ITO,,,,,KAHIT NA IPAKAIN YAN SA BUWAYA HINDI TALAGA YAN AAMIN,, PROMISEEEE!!!
Ang kaibahan lang sa dalawang picture: iba ang ngiti ni de5 sa pic nila ni kerwin…syempre kc may nakukuha sya dito kina kerwin kesa doon sa dalawang matanda na talagang nagpapicture lng at wala syang nakuha kahit 1piso…hahaha
what this photo establishes is the timeline when the picture was taken…it coincides with Kerwin’s and Dyan’s testimony that they met on that date in Baguio city…sige De5 deny pa more! Everybody is lying except you? wala ng naniniwala sa yo kapalmuks!
deny to death prin c delimaw,parehas ba sa uwak bisag naka ipit na ag piso sa ijang tiil ingon ang uwak [ wa wa wa wa wa wa ] haha prang uwak c delimaw !!
D5 is Sooo thick-skinned!!! Truth prevails
