Eugene Nierras Corpin, a native of Biliran, Biliran, born from a family of minor nobility and a distant descendant of the Nierras’, Casas’, Vicera’s, Tonelete’s and Solete’s families. He grew up in Cebu but resides in different parts of the country to shun from people who got into troubled with him so as to avoid fatal confrontation. He has a tough-guy image akin to ‘Al Capone’ who seemed to be immunes to the law; to John Gotti, or to Frank Costello and Louis Lepke, who formed national crime syndicate.
He lately created a group for survival, beneath the protection of frightened political malnourish who wear sheep clothing but a feroscious wolves. He was suspended due to his alleged serious harassment and hold-up a Vietnamese businessman. The case did not push through; he reportedly began recruiting former inmates and formed their own group, the Batang City Jail (BCG) motivated largely for his selfish interest.
He was a former asset of the ex-mayor of Naval, the late Brigido Caneja Sr. But fate left him no choice but to move somewhere else and made him the tough guy image. He was charged, prosecuted and convicted of illegal possession of firearm and spent several years behind bars in Muntinlupa, Manila. He is known to be a distant relative of Mayor Jerry Espina Sr. and became a bodyguard of the incumbent Biliran Governor Rogelio Espina who later disown him after Corpin was implicated in various crimes.

Despite of his pugnacious attitude as it may seems, Eugene Corpin is a good family man. He has a daughter who was married to a foreigner and resides now in US while the rest of the siblings are well-disciplined. He was trying his best to turn his own ‘world” upright by refraining from confronting the troublesome past and dealing the misses of his life amicably. However many people want to experiment and measure his tolerance that landed him in a very difficult moment of his life today.
A murder charge was filed against Eugenio Nierras Corpin, supported by the statements of witnesses who saw him fired the shot that killed former Biliran governor Danilo Parilla. Escorted by the homicide and vice control squads of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO), Corpin was brought to the Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office. Assistant City Prosecutor Aida Sanchez conducted the inquest proceedings against Corpin, who would have wanted to sign a waiver of detention for a preliminary investigation.
According to the Mayor of Naval who was interviewed by dyLA that Corpin was humiliated and politics had no link with Parilla’s death though he admitted that Corpin used to be his son’s bodyguard, Espina said Corpin was asked to leave due to his antagonistic behavior when he got drunk. Espina said both Corpin and Parilla were well-known throughout Biliran. Corpin reportedly said he was earlier challenged by the deceased to a fight but he did not ascend. And they think that the old Corpin is no longer an image that can be a tough.
Parilla was famous of his tough image too thou he is not a hit man, and eminent political contender against the Espinas particularly in Naval and to the Biliran province in general. It is believed that the case of Corpin and Parilla is likened to a ‘hitting-two-birds-in-one-stone’ scenario. Susmariosep!
