BREAKING NEWS! DE LIMA HANDA NANG HARAPIN ANG MGA KASO. PINARATANGAN PA ANG DOJ SEC. NA GUMAGAWA NG PEKENG EBIDENSYA!

A defiant Senator Leila de Lima said yesterday she is prepared to face head-on the criminal charge that the current administration is bent on pursuing to get back at her.

De Lima bared her readiness amid the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) plan to release a subpoena against her in relation to her alleged involvement in the proliferation of illegal drugs inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).

‘I have no illusion about what I’m up against,” De Lima said in a statement.

“I am up against the belief that Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre can exhaust his powers and tap government resources to manufacture false evidence designed to link me to the illegal drugs trade. You and I know that he does not have a license to abuse his authority to smear my reputation and slander my integrity,” De Lima said.

De Lima has staunchly opposed the extrajudicial killings in light of the government’s intensive campaign against illegal drugs, which drew the ire of President Duterte himself.

“I am up against the government’s deliberate efforts to undermine the accomplishments of the previous administration’s campaign against illegal drugs. You and I know that this administration is singularly motivated to demonize its political opponents instead of confronting the illegal drug menace,” De Lima said.

“Sadly, we have a Justice Secretary who has a propensity for untruthful and thoughtless statements, for feeding us with lies and deceits, and for resorting to fabrication and forgery,” said De Lima, a former Justice Secretary.
