De Lima: Duterte plotted my ouster

“Majority po ang nag-oust sa akin bilang chair ng committee on justice. Wala po akong duda na mayroong kinalaman  dyan ang ating Pangulo."

This was the statement of Sen. Leila de Lima after she was ousted as chair of the Senate committee on justice investigating  the alleged  extrajudicial killings  under the current administration.

“Bagamat nirerespeto ko po ang aking mga kasamahan, siguro po pwede kong  masabi na naiitindihan ko ang ginawa nila  pero uulitin ko po yun, imposible  po walang kinalaman dito ang ating Pangulo,” she added.


On Monday, Senator Manny Pacquiao moved De Lima's ouster and 16 senators voted  to declare  the  chairmanship  and the membership of the  committee vacant, only four voted against it while  two senators  abstained.

“Syempre tumindi lalo ang galit nya (Duterte). Talaga namang galit sa akin di ba? I mean, he was not  concealing  yung galit nya sa akin  when I started nga this  inquiry na binastos talaga ako ng husto, may mga (binato) sa akin na below the  belt, may mga statement like you’re finished,” she said.

“So itong mga ginagawa sa akin,  mukhang mga finishing touches yun para  sa kanya,” the senator added.

“Talaga naman syempre hindi ko maitatanggi  na sobrang masakit  ang nararamdaman ko,” she ended.
