Last night there was a tense joint operation in Biñan, Laguna. On basis of an immigration order, operatives from the military's  Joint Special Operations Group and Intelligence Service conducted an operation and caught a Chinese man named Lyu Dong. He's a new name and a new face and dont appear in company documents of the POGOs in bamban and porac, but PAOCC believes he is tied to the two, and is actually a POGO kingpin with enterprises from Laguna to metro manila to ilocos sur to cebu.

Hello! @Lian Buan and I are covering the quad committee hearing today. First order of business is Duterte's drug war.

Earlier, the a Holy Mass was celebrated inside the Batasang Pambansa joined by drug war victims' families. They brought photos of their loved ones while attending the mass.

Alleged drug lord Kerwin Espinosa, who's now running for Albuera, Leyte mayor, appears on the quad committee hearing on EJKs and drug war. Espinosa implicated ex-sen. De Lima to drugs, but later recanted his statements. He is currently free after posting bail.

In case you missed it, Espinosa has been cleared in some of his cases, which were mostly drug-related. He still has pending money laundering and drug cases.

ESPINOSA DROPS A BOMBSHELL

He names Senator Ronald dela Rosa as the one who forced him to testify against former senator Leila de Lima. Although he already retracted his statements vs De Lima, this is the first time he implicated Dela Rosa in the case.

Now, the skeletons in Rodrigo's closet are crashing down.

And more to come.

Quad comm's hearing now shifts to Royina Garma.

Raquel Lopez, Rabby's mother, tells the story of how Garma got mad when they arranged a burial for her child killed in a drug war op in Cebu City. Garma was the Cebu City police chief when the city became a drug war hotspot.

Raquel Lopez faces Garma, whom she said chastised them during the funeral of her child. Garma denies the allegations, but Raquel stands by her testimony.

This is the portion of Raquel's affidavit: "She [Garma] strutted around and she was angry at [us] for holding a wake for the death of [my] son, and she was telling [us], ‘Why is there only one dead, there are many of them here."

BREAKING: Royina Garma implicates Rodrigo Duterte to the drug war, saying the former president instructed them to organize a reward system for killings patterned after the so-called "Davao Model" in 2016.

I caught Col. Marvin Marcos reentering the House of Reps when ret. col. Royina Garma mentioned him as allegedly a volunteer of the DDS style war on drugs. Garma says volunteers promise to "deliver" aka, in her words, "sigurado patay." Marcos was the police superintendent who led the operation that killed Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa.

Garma's affidavit corroborates a lot of things, including Espenido's earlier allegation that cops were financially rewarded under Duterte's drug war.
