De Lima reacts to Duterte for humiliating 5 generals

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.

Dela Rosa to Generals: I want to cry with them

Philippine National Police chief Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa felt emotional as he was describing the meeting with the three police generals who are allegedly involved in drug trade.



Dela Rosa was on the edge of tears as he told the reporters "I want to cry with them."


On Tuesday, June 5, the five generals who were mentioned by President Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte during his speech in the 69th anniversary of Philippine Air Force were Police Director Joel Pagdilao, Chief Supt. Edgardo Tinio, Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz, retired Deputy Director General Marcelo Garbo and retired Chief Supt. Vicente Loot who were also Dela Rosa’s upperclassmen at Philippine Military Academy (PMA).


Meeting lasted less than an hour and only  Pagdilao,  Tinio and Diaz met Dela Rosa on Wednesday, June 6 at the PNP headquarters, Camp Crame, Quezon City.


With the presence of representatives from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and National Police Commission (Napolcom).

During the meeting, Dela Rosa said: “It was very intimate. Don’t ask anymore. I might cry here.”

“Our meeting was purely intimate and personal. I cannot discuss it in public. (But) my advice to them is face the music,” Dela Rosa said.

Dela Rosa’s spokesperson Senior Supt. Dionardo Carlos was also there and said there was no tense moment but the officers broke down in tears.

Carlos said “It was quiet. Mabigat. Syempre naiintindihan namin na hindi sila basta-bastang naging heneral. It’s normal, human emotion na dumadaan sa pagsubok na maramdaman ang ganito".

(It was quiet. It was a difficult situation. Of course, we understand that they did not become generals just out of nowhere. It’s normal, human emotion for them to feel that way as they go through this ordeal.)

Dela Rosa said he assured the generals for the impartial investigation.

“I gave them the assurance na kahit upperclass ko sila, I am their father right now. As the father, I have to look for their welfare,” Dela Rosa said.
