On Tue, Sep 27, Senator Leila de Lima was asked for her reaction on Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II’s statement that he is now building up administrative and criminal cases against her.
Philippine Daily Inquirer quoted De Lima’s statement, which declared, “Secretary Aguirre’s alleged evidence against me is like his toupee, his wig — fake and cosmetics only. There is nothing into it other than that. Nothing’s authentic.”
De Lima added, “What is real however are the killings. What is tragic is that these killings continue unabated. And the criminals, including these so-called vigilantes, are getting bolder, while the victims are getting younger.”
The report noted: “De Lima claimed that some 20,584 minors have reportedly been exploited into drug use and peddling.”
“At this point, the Justice Department should instead focus its efforts on investigating and prosecuting the syndicates — the real culprits — who force these minors to go into drug pushing,” De Lima suggested.
Well, whatever De Lima says (even if it makes sense) will do nothing for Aguirre’s hair…or wig.
