Rose Lin tells Acierto to 'man up'
BUSINESSWOMAN Rose Nono Lin has questioned the credibility of dismissed police colonel Eduardo Acierto as a witness in the House quad committee's inquiry on the Duterte administration's war on drugs. Nono Lin said Acierto, a former member of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Anti-Narcotics Unit, was implicated in the P11-billion worth of smuggled drugs concealed in magnetic lifters found at the Manila International Container Port (MICP) and in a warehouse in Cavite in 2018. Acierto was also among those charged in the illegal sale of more than 1,000 high-powered firearms worth P52 million to communist rebels during the Aquino III administration and was also allegedly involved in the kidnapping of South Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo. Jee was found dead on Oct. 18, 2016, inside Camp Crame, the PNP headquarters. "Acierto should man up. Face the music if you are really clean," Nono Lin said. In a report he submitted in 2019 to then PNP chief Oscar Albayalde and then Philippine Drugs Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Aaron Aquino, Acierto claimed that Nono Lin's husband, Lin Wei Xiong, a Hong Kong national and drug personality Allan Lim are the same person. He said an informant had told him that former Duterte adviser Michael Yang and Allan Lim, who is also known as Lin Wei Xiong, were linked to illegal drug trafficking. Former PDEA chief Wilkins Villanueva earlier told members of the quad committee that Acierto's report was "raw" or unverified. But Acierto said his report was never acted upon because then president Duterte was the protector of Yang and Lim. Nono Lin said "if Acierto is really telling the truth, why doesn't he come out and face the cases against him." She said her husband is not the subject of any arrest warrant and has no pending case in court.
