In a news article published recently by GMA News, Sen. Leila de Lima urged President Duterte to remind the police about the importance of following the law while carrying out his administration’s all-out offensive against illegal drugs.
She said she sees nothing wrong of President Duterte’s rhetoric to rally the law enforcers in the fight against illegal drugs, however, the lady senator cautions the President when barking the marching orders to the law enforcers because this could embolden them to break the law.
Previously, the lady Senator and former Secretary of Justice told GMA News that she plans to conduct a legislative probe on the series of killings of drug suspects. Check out the entire story here.
Meanwhile, a netizen named Sass Rogando Sasot published an open letter containing the harshest criticism against the lady senator which served as President Noynoy Aquino’s Justice Secretary before winning a senatorial slot in the recent national election.
The open letter was posted 12 hours ago as of this writing and has since generated more than 1000 shares.
Check out the full-text of the letter below.
DEAR SENATOR DE LIMA,
Here’s my rebuttal.
According to PNP Officer-in-Charge, Deputy Director General Leonardo A. Espina, these are some of the 2013 achievements of Oplan Lambat Sabat ek ek of Former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas:
– 283 dead motorcycle riding criminals; and
– 193 neutralised suspects.
(http://bit.ly/29yzevM)That was only in 2013. We’re not really aware who are these dead and neutralised “criminals.” Inquirer didn’t make a list of who they are. But I can’t call them criminals because I believe only the court can judge that they are guilty of the crimes they were accused of, right? Due process, that sort of thing?
Meanwhile, the 2014 Annual Report of DILG says the following:
– neutralization of 1,199 carnapping suspects
– 7,734 persons carrying loose firearms were neutralizedSo Madame Senator, I believe that you were the DOJ Secretary during that time. Did CHR investigate each one of them? Did your office investigate each one of them? Can you please tell us whether these extra-judicial killings are justified? If yes, why? If not, then you are in trouble.
What can you say about this post?

good day, sir. regarding the news that leila delima will still pursue human rights violations of pres-elect duterte: please take into account her grave abuse of discretion in charging political dissidents without even validating probable cause of their arrests. take the case of the Tiamzons in which everyone knows that the military only retrieved cats and dogs but still charged them with fictitious possession of explosives, THREE DAYS AFTER THEIR ARREST resulting to illegal detention of 7 political detainees including the couple. the 5 others are suffering from mental and emotional torture from being locked up for more than 2 years now. more than half of political prisoners were detained due to trumped-up charges during aquino’s reign in connivance with the DOJ led by Mrs. deLima. for your info and further review.
Well done Sir!!those should be added to her Cases!!hope this woman should be …haha
Mrs. De Lima, please answer.
Madame Senator, please answer. And what have you done about the case against the Ampatuans. If l remember right, you always said, “we will not leave a stone unturned”, and how about the Mamasapano massacre?
