De Lima's speculations adhered to Duterte's admission that he is the one who purchased the reinstatement of Supt. Marvin Marcos, the leader of the authorities raid that killed suspected Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr., as head of the PNP Criminal Investigation as well as Discovery Group (CIDG) in Region 8.

De Lima said that his admission "brought more questions than answers".

"We must start asking ourselves this question: whether or not the President, rather than De Lima, is actually the number one drug lord protector and coddler in the country," De Lima stated."

President Duterte admitted that he made the call to oppose De Lima's initial claim that it was the Presidential Management Staff head Bong Go who called for the reinstatement.

"Just as I thought. Since, per my source, it's Bong Go who called PNP Chief Bato, then it must be the President who, directly or indirectly through Bong Go, gave such an order to reinstate Marcos. I guess the President had no choice but to own it up instead of letting Bong Go, his closest aide, trusted confidant, and all around go-to guy, to be the fall guy in this incident," De Lima stated."

The senator is implicating the president of having a much deeper reason behind his order of Marcos' reinstatement. Furthermore, she is additionally watching on the controversy when PNP Chief Dela Rosa claimed that it was a "higher official" and a "kumpare" that bought the reinstatement. De Lima said that it puzzles her why General Bato did not straight admit that it was the President.
