LOOK: De Lima Denies For Being a Coddler of Drugs

Former Department of Justice Sec. Leila De Lima denies herself after being tagged as a drug  lord “coddler” and  “protector” and accused of accepting pays from convicts inside the Bilibid, especially during her 6 year terms as DOJ chief.

Also, the current Senator De Lima admittedly being hurt by the accusation charged against her.

“A matter as important as this, as serious as this, should transcend any political consideration and it’s the farthest from my mind doing things with political objective and I’m not that kind of a public servant,” De Lima said as a responds to a question if the Senate investigation was politically motivated since she came from the part of the Liberal Party and  the legislative  leaders  belong to President Duterte’s PDP-Laban in a report over Radyo Inquirer on Tuesday.

The senator was also asked why she was  pursuing the investigation  despite what she claimed demolition jobs being waged against her by the  President’s men, De Lima said: “It’s the right thing to do. I  could have kept mum about  it and especially in light of these relentless, persistent viscous attacks, all sorts of dirt being  thrown at me  especially,  masakit yan e na ang tawag  sayo drug lord coddler,  protector, tumatanggap sa mga  convicts.”

“To put a stop to it, hindi na sana ako gagalaw, hindi na sana ako magsasalita but this is the right thing to do,” she  said.

In-order she could convince the  people that  she was not a protector of drug lords in the country,  De Lima said, “Kung nandito po kayo sa harapan ko, I will look  at you straight in the eye and I will tell that’s a complete lie.”

“Why should  I be  a coddler of this? Sinabi ko na nga po kanina ako nga po yung nag-raid sa kanila, ako yung nagpahirap sa kanila, ako ang nag-isolate sa kanila and then kinasuhan nila ako and then now, I’m a coddler?” De Lima stated.
