Duterte: De Lima will be jailed for sure

President Rodrigo Duterte is sure that Senator Leila de Lima, a staunch critic of the administration’s war on drugs, will go to jail for allegedly playing  a key role in the drug trade inside the New Bilibid Prison.

“She will be jailed, that is for sure, because of testimonial evidence,” the president said.

“She should be worried, these are serious charges. She should not adopt a nonchalant attitude about all of these things because she opened the portals of narcopolitics to take hold in the national level.

According to him, upon the completion of the investigation, the Department of Justice (DOJ) woud file charges against the senators for violating the illegal drug act, a crime that is not bailable.

“I am sure of my evidence. You started in Davao and you wanted to be well-known. Next time she’s in prison, there is no more worry about liaisons and dalliances. She is in prison, I will just connect the prison for men and women so she can have all the lovers there she wants,” Duterte said.

He acknowledged her ambition to run for higher office, but also said that her “sexuality” brought her down. “When her sex video came out, she was finished. Would you vote for her now? Even for barangay captain?”

If given the chance to ask the senator a question, the president said that he would question her as to why she went into a “kubol” of Jaybee Sebastian and then later turned him into a “government asset.”

“Is that the normal work of a secretary of justice? Do you now trust the NBI or military (for you) to have your own asset? Was that a sexual asset or source of information?”

He also emphasized his curiosity on why De Lima would spend as much as four hours inside the “kubol” of Sebastian, if they were only discussing the drug situation in NBP.
