Kerwin Espinosa Repratriation: A Personal View

Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. was recently killed while in the custody of the authorities. The circumstances surrounding the death of Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. are questionable. The death seems to be premeditated.

With that fact, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte still stood by the actions of the policemen. This statement of President Duterte was made with the idea that Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. is a drug lord and deserved to experience the horrors of his actions, death.

Rolan “Kerwin” Espinosa, son of the late Albuera Mayor Espinosa Sr., is now going to be repatriated. It is said that he would give light on the drug trade and connections regarding the “Blue Book” and “Pink Book” which supposedly contains the names of the personalities involved in the drug trade, the people who received and accepted drug money. Let us take note that Kerwin Espinosa went into hiding after the issuance of the Shoot-to-Kill order by the government.

Before anything else, we must take into consideration the question of security. Mayor Espinosa Sr. was in the custody and security of the government when the killing took place. He was supposedly secured by the authorities in Davao, the hometown of the current President Duterte. Now this puts into question any attempt by the government at securing Kerwin Espinosa anywhere in the Philippines.

The best thing to do, I believe, is to have a third party take over the security of Kerwin Espinosa. A private security firm should be more than enough to handle the security of the life of Kerwin Espinosa and the guarantee to show up at any hearing or inquiry. Sorry to say, but we cannot leave the security of anyone involved, or suspected to be involved, in the drug trade to a government which vows to kill anyone connected to illegal drugs, much more a government which failed to protect the life of a person who surrendered and is already in their custody.


I am for the campaign of the government against illegal drugs and I believe that people who use drugs to destroy the lives of other people should pay for their crimes and be removed from this earth. But, if we wish to secure a drug-free future, we must cut the trunk and not the branches. We must secure the life of Kerwin Espinosa, at least until he has shared all that he knows with respect to the illegal drug trade.
