Sen. De Lima blasted against Justice Sec. Aguirre regarding the issue about the previous riot in NBP.
DE LIMA – Sen. Leila de Lima rebutted on the accusation thrown at her and Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV regarding the previous riot that happened inside the New Bilibid Prison.
Sen. De Lima is undeniably one of the politicians who face lots of issues and allegations as of the present. Since the previous months, her name is often times on the headlines of news reports.
Recently, a news report in Phil Star Global entailed that she rebutted against the accusation that she and Sen. Trillanes were the personalities behind the previous riot that happened in the NBP.
When the riot happened, the Department of Justice Secretary is Vitaliano Aguirre II who had alleged the two senators of initiating the incident according to the news report.
In the report, it is stated that the lady senator said that the Justice Secretary is ‘lying’. She even called Aguirre as a ‘chronic liar like his boss’ and a DOJ Secretary ‘without balls’.
“What do you expect from a public official who fakes his own hair?” Sen. De Lima further expressed in her statement.
Based on the news report, the lady senator claimed that the order of the riot came from Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte to put a pressure on the Bilibid inmates to speak against her on the inquiry conducted by the House of Representatives regarding the alleged drug trade in the NBP.
Sen. De Lima is one of the most vocal critics of Pres. Duterte. In the previous months, the two have continuously sparked headlines as they exchanged intense statements.
Based on a previous report, even the presidential sister has already spoken and defended her brother against the Senator.
Reportedly, the Chief Executive justified that he talked about the romantic affair of the lady senator with her driver-bodyguard as it is linked to the issue about the drug trade inside the national penitentiary.
It took quite a while before Sen. De Lima admitted that she and Ronnie Dayan, her former driver and bodyguard, have a past romantic affair. The lady senator also cleared out that they were officially over when she ran for a senatorial spot.
Dayan is also accused of being the ‘bagman’ of Sen. De Lima who is now facing allegations of involvement in the drug trade inside the NBP way back when she was the Secretary of Justice.
The former driver and lover of the Senator has already appeared before the hearing after he was captured by the authorities in the province of La Union.
