crime, drug pay-offs

MANILA — President
Duterte kept up attacks, on Wednesday, against his fierce critic Sen. Leila de
Lima, insisting she was receiving money in the illegal drugs racket.
Mr. Duterte, speaking to
reporters in a media interview in Taytay, Rizal, said De Lima had allowed the
drug trade to proliferate in the New Bilibid Prison and got something in
return.
“She was on the take.
She could not have allowed these things to happen for nothing. You must be
kidding,” he said.
“She facilitated
everything for money,” he later added.
He also alleged that De
Lima’s “sexual escapades” had led her to violate the law. At one point, Mr.
Duterte resorted to coarse language, saying De Lima’s weakness for
“chuk-chak” (a Filipino slang for sex) corrupted her work in government.
“What is really sad for
this country, here is a woman posturing [herself] to be a crusader for good
government. But because she could not stop her immorality— well, to De Lima’s
credit she is legally annulled like me and is a bachelorette— but her sex
escapades led her to commit several serious violations of law,” he said.
Earlier, he alleged that
De Lima’s driver, who was also her lover, had collected payoffs for her, and that
she had gifted him with a house funded by illegal drugs.
On Wednesday, he claimed she had a
new boyfriend, but said the new guy did not have involvement in the illegal
drug racket.
He identified her
supposedly new boyfriend as a certain “Warren” who served as her
motorcycle-riding escort.
He said he learned about
the matter from former Metro Manila Development Authority chief Francis
Tolentino.
The President added De
Lima was angry at him because he discovered her activities, including her
personal relationships.
He said that while she
denied involvement in the narcotics racket, she did not deny the allegations
about the relationship.
Mr. Duterte was in
Taytay, Rizal, to visit the wake of Senior Inspector Mark Gil Garcia, chief of
the special operations unit of the Rizal provincial police, who was killed in a
drug buy bust operation.
