MANILA, Philippines – Did he dig too deep?
At least two viral posts making the rounds on social media are claiming that the late Jesse Robredo was killed after he purportedly discovered the extent of the illegal drug trade which not only counted PNP generals among its beneficiaries but also Cabinet members belonging to the former administration.
In a Facebook post attributed to former Manila Chronicle general Jose Alejandrino, Robredo was killed after uncovering the drug links of some of the PNP top brass and at least two Cabinet members of former president Benigno Aquino III.
“Jess informed President Aquino of his investigations. The problem was it was not only the drug lords who had links to some PNP generals but as Jess dug deeper found they had links to Palace officials,” the post said.
The post also claimed that the reason former DILG Undersecretary Rico Puno tried to enter Robredo’s condo shortly after his death was because Aquino instructed him to retrieve the latter’s files incriminating the PNP generals and the Cabinet officials.
“So when Aquino was told of the fatal plane crash, he instructed Rico Puno, Usec at DILG, to rush to the Robredo condo to look for the files and dispose of them because they contained incriminating evidence against two Cabinet members,” the post said.
Weighing in on Robredo’s death, columnist Inday Espina-Varona also noted that Joel Pagdilao — one of the generals identified by Duterte as an alleged coddler of drug lords — was with Puno the day he tried to enter Robredo’s condo unit.
“Reminding the public that police general Joel Pagdilao was among the cops Jesse was investigating before his plane crash and that Pagdilao was with PNOY’s dearest friend, then Usec Rico Puno in that controversial attempt to take out papers from Jesse’s condo even as Leni and daughters were grieving in Naga,” she wrote on her Facebook page.
