De Lima Will Surely Go To Jail, Duterte Says
President Rodrigo Duterte is very confident that Senator Leila de Lima, his number one critic, will surely go to jail.
“Makukulong talaga iyan, sigurado yan, because of the testimonial evidence,” Duterte said.
De Lima was accused by Duterte on allowing the illegal drug trade inside the New Bilibid Prison during her term as Justice Secretary in Aquino administration.
President Duterte also scolded the voters of De Lima who won as senator last election.
“You elected a senator, kayong mga Pilipino, who was into narco-politics, who was being financed from the inside… [by] the convicts inside the prison,” he said.
Recently, NBI officials and high profile inmates like Herbert Colangco in the Bilibid testified against then-justice secretary De Lima.
The accusation of other inmates is that De Lima received drug money as "payola" and was used to her political campaign.
De Lima also claimed that Jaybee Sebastian was a government asset who gave information to then-justice De Lima.
Duterte is not convinced that Sebastian is an asset.
“Why would you have an asset such as Jaybee Sebastian? Do you not trust the NBI, the military men?” he said.
