Newly elected Senator Leila De Lima reacted to five generals issue who allegedly coddle drugs that was named by President Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte during his speech in 69th anniversary of Air Force.
While Duterte proved his seriousness in the anti-drug campaign in the country as part of his agendas, De Lima stated that there could be a violation of rights to due process for the five generals.
“Sa tingin ko yung name and shame tact adopted by our President has both a plus and a minus. On one hand it demonstrates yung seriousness, yung determination niya to really stamp out criminality and corruption especially official corruption, corruption within the PNP ranks, between and among the PNP officials. So that’s the plus," Delima said.
The former chief justice said “On the other hand, syempre, may violation dyan ng due process".
“There is still presumption of innocence and therefore, they are entitled to be heard. They should not be put and subjected to trial by publicity,” De Lima added.
