A handful of legislators opened an inquiry into Espinosa’s death in Manila. Jovie attended. It ended inconclusively days later. As Jovie left the hall, he received a call from a PNP director. “Jovie,” the voice crackled. “I will assign you to Ozamiz.” On December 8, 2016, Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido announced his transfer to Ozamiz City. In a text message, Espenido said, “Please kindly include me in your prayers for my new assignment in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Region 10.”

Ozamiz City was disorganized. It was filthy, and trash piled on almost every street corner. Cars were disorderly parked. Squatting was prevalent. The downtown was hush and dusty as if they were preparing for war. But the situation is clear for Espenido: the business was dead. The Parojinogs had killed Ozamis. And he has one mission to fulfill, as he said, “My mission in Ozamiz City is to get the Parojinogs who was reportedly one of the “biggest” drug lords in Mindanao.”
