VIRAL – A netizen posted a photo of her mother and aunt together with Sen. Leila De Lima in social media. The photo was taken in Baguio City.
Several issues are discussed on the surface now. Senate hearings and sessions were even held to solve the puzzle regarding the alleged drug trade inside the national penitentiary and the truth behind the death of Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr.
Recently, the son of the late mayor of Leyte, Kerwin Espinosa, divulged his claim stating that he has met Sen. Leila De Lima in Baguio City – a statement denied by the Senator to reporters right after a senate hearing of the committee on public order has ended based on a report.

Sen. De Lima said to the reporters based on the report, “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.”
