Kerwin Espinosa, reportedly the biggest drug lord in Eastern Visayas, revealed on Wednesday before the Senate his sources of drugs before he was arrested hiding as fugitive in Abu Dhabi in the Middle East last Oct. 17.
Reading his affidavit before the Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs, Kerwin said his top sources of drugs were alleged drug lord Jeffrey “Jaguar” Diaz and a certain Lovely Adam Impal.
Espinosa claimed that he had been transacting with them since 2005 when he was still an underling of Diaz, tagged as the No. 1 drug lord of Central Visayas. Diaz was killed by policemen in a shootout in Las Piñas City, on June 17.
The Senate committee is probing the death of Kerwin’s father Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. inside his cell during a police search at the Baybay Sub-provincial Jail last Nov. 5.
Kerwin said it was Diaz who introduced him to Impal when they met inside the Bagong Buhay Rehabilitation Center (BBRC) in Lahug, Cebu City.
“Supplier ko si Lovely Adam Impal at Jaguar kasi sila ang malalaking negosyante ng shabu sa panahon na ‘yon,” he said.
Impal is a native of Cagayan De Oro but she owns properties in Iligan City, Bukidnon province, said Kerwin.
While inside the jail, Kerwin said he would ask his men, including a village councilor, to sell drugs he supplied from Impal.
“One hundred percent alam ko na buhay pa siya (Impal). Sabi niya nakatira siya sa Makati (City) pero walang specific address,” he said. Asked to describe Impal, Kerwin said: “Maputi siya, mahaba ang buhok. Medyo may kalakihan at mestiza na babae.”
