De Lima notes irony: Are drug convicts now admin allies?

A fighting Sen. Leila de Lima on Friday cited the irony of how the administration has turned to drug convicts to pin her on allegations of profiting from illicit drug operations at the national penitentiary.

This as she continued to face a stream of accusations and tirades from the Duterte administration since she took a fierce stand against the President’s bloody drug war, where thousands have died, including those who died in incidents she suspects are extrajudicial killings.

The senator noted that the Duterte administration, while staunchly against illegal drugs, is now relying on jailed drug lords to testify against her, even as the administration had claimed that drug lords were plotting to assassinate the President.
