(Eagle News)– Senator Leila De Lima on Monday (September 26) told President Rodrigo Duterte to stop his tirades and accusations against her.
“Our President is again going ballistic. Naawa na po ako sa ating Pangulo kaya patawarin na lang siya ng mahal na Diyos sa kanyang pinaggagagawa,” De Lima said.
“Suddenly, he’s now — for me, he’s now the lowest, vilest man in the country sa sobrang kabastusan na niya that’s why, God forgive him,” she added.
“Naawa na po ako sa inyo mahal na Pangulo, tigilan na ninyo ako. Ano po ang gusto ninyo sa akin? May gusto po ba kayo sa akin?” De Lima told reporters.
Duterte hit De Lima anew for saying convicted kidnapper Jaybee Sebastian was a government asset.
“Was it a sexual asset or for information?” the President said during a speech at the oath-taking of officers of the Malacañang Press Corps.
“Itong si De Lima makukulong to, on a national case. Who brought in the narcopolitics? It is here already. You elected a senator who was into narcopolitics. Who was being financed from the inside. ‘Wag na sana sa labas. From the convict inside the prison, this senator, and won. What do you call that?” he added.
“I do not ordinarily nagpapahiya pero si De Lima she screwed her driver and she screwed the nation. Gusto n’ya ko idamay,” Duterte stressed, citing De Lima’s effort to present supposed witness Edgar Matobato in the Senate hearing.
