Tatapusin Nya! Mayor-elect Kerwin Espinosa, nangako na tatapusin ang problema sa ipinagbabawal na gamot

Mayor-elect Kerwin Espinosa vowed to promote peace and order and fight against illegal drugs after he was elected as the new leader of Albuera, Leyte.

According to him, he would craft solutions to curb Albuera’s existing problems.

“Ang uunahin ko, peace and order at bigyan ng solusyon ang droga dito sa Albuera. Linisin namin ang droga dito sa aming lungsod. I-zero tolerance namin ang droga,”

“Gusto ko lang sugpuin at para mapatunayan na hindi talaga ako naging drug lord. Naging biktima lang ako sa mga…alam na natin,” he added.

Espinosa won several weeks after an attempt on his life, which he blamed on Rep. Richard Gomez.

He was facing a disqualification case filed by Ormoc City Mayor Lucy Torres-Gomez.

Espinosa gained 14,919 votes against his opponent, Vince Rama, who only got 9,744 votes.

His tandem, RR Espinosa, also won the vice-mayoral race.

It can be recalled that Espinosa admitted that he was involved in the illegal drug trade.

“Oo, nagbibigay ako ng SOP na weekly pero iba pa ‘yung sa negosyo sa pulis na palitan kami ng shabu kung nauubusan kami,” said Espinosa in 2018.
