Whistleblower Sandra Cam revealed on Tuesday that the overseas Filipino worker who tipped off the authorities about alleged drug lord Kerwin Espinosa is her employee in Abu Dhabi.
Speaking in a media forum, Cam said she received a message from her employee in the evening of Oct. 8, saying she has seen the suspect in a building in Abu Dhabi. She said her secretary, whom she refused to name for protection, sent her a photograph of Espinosa through Viber.

The photograph reportedly showed the suspect and a Filipina nurse at an Indian store.
Upon receiving confirmation from the immigration bureau in Abu Dhabi, Cam said she called Christopher “Bong” Go, special assistant to President Rodrigo Duterte, who later revealed the information to the press along with Philippine National Police Chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa.
Cam also bared that Espinosa has named several suspected drug lords before the authorities, including government and military officials. She said Espinosa is expected to be extradited and sent back to the Philippines in 3 weeks. RAM
