(Eagle News)– Pangasinan Rep. Amado Espino Jr. has made the denial on Thursday after President Rodrigo Duterte released the drug matrix which tags him as “the richest politician in Northern Luzon” and benefits from black sand mining, quarrying and jueteng operations.
In a press conference in Dagupan City, Espino revealed his plans to talk with the President and PNP chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa to clear his name.
He said he is in full support of the new administration’s campaign.
“Uulitin ko po, we are in full support dito sa project na ito ni President Duterte, dito po sa drug campaign niya, at dito po sa peace and order,” Espino said.
The solon said in his statement that he’d been to the New Bilibid Prison once when he visited Romeo Jalosjos. He also pointed that he only met Senator Leila de Lima and her driver, Ronnie Dayan, once.
