  • ‘Leila got cash from Kerwin’

    After a six-hour chase over hills and across rivers, police officers sent to arrest Ronnie Dayan finally found him sitting alone and bedraggled, waiting for them under the shade of a tree in the middle of farmland before noon yesterday in San Juan, La Union. The former driver of Sen. Leila de Lima and her alleged bagman in the illegal drug trade at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) reportedly broke down upon seeing his wife and son as well as other relatives who came to witness his arrest. Last night at the House of Representatives, he admitted receiving an unspecified amount of money from alleged Albuera drug kingpin Kerwin Espinosa and personally giving it to De Lima in 2014, “before she decided to run for the Senate.” But Dayan denied using or selling drugs or knowing other alleged drug traffickers.
