De Lima questions Duterte’s alliance with drug lords

Senator Leila de Lima questioned President Rodrigo Duterte’s alliance with drug lords, despite the ongoing war on illegal drugs that he himself declared.

“Ang mga drug lord at criminal sa Bilibid ngayon ay kakampi nan g pangulo sa kanyang giyera sa droga,” De Lima said. “Ni hindi napapansin ni Aguirre kung gaano na katawa-tawa ang sitwasyon nila. Ang kakampi pala ng pangulo sa kanayng giyera sa droga ay ang mga drug lords na minsan sinabi nilang nag-ambag ng isang bilyong para ipapatay siya.”

Justice Vitaliano Aguirre III was the one who presented the high-profile inmates as witnesses to the House committee on justice.

“Ano yun? Change of heart? Napakalaki nilan mga t—nga para hindi mapansin na nagkabalu-baluktot na ang kanilang mga sinasabi,” the senator added.

Duterte has insisted that the war against illegal drugs will not cease until the last drug pusher has been punished.

However, De Lima is adamant on denying that she has received drug payoffs during her term as Justice Secretary during the Aquino administration. She said that the witnesses were pressured or tortured to speak ill about her.
