Espinosa, who once confessed to being a drug lord, posted a photo on Facebook showing him reading a book on the Local Government Code.
"No time wasted for the new challenges of my life. You'll learn how to manage all your obligations when you have the perseverance to do so," the caption of the post read.
The photo has garnered hundreds of reactions, comments, and shares after it was posted around 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 15.
