The killing of Espinosa would, without a doubt, be known as the ‘rubout of the century,’ the most brazen ever here or even elsewhere in the civilized world. But over the Espinosa killing, he has been as timid and quiet as a sheep. In both speeches, Duterte has said not one word on the Espinosa rubout. The highest officer who is really accountable for this shame on the nation is of course, PNP Chief Director General Ronald de la Rosa. The strongest message Duterte could send – that he is undaunted in his war against crime – is to fire de la Rosa.
