He expressed hope that De Lima could forgive him, explaining that he was coerced into falsely linking the former senator to illegal drugs, despite the accusations being untrue.

Espinosa also addressed a photo of him with De Lima, clarifying that the picture was taken during a chance meeting when his family visited Baybay.

He stated that this photo was used as evidence to incriminate De Lima.

It can be recalled that De Lima was arrested and jailed over three drug-related charges.
