Senator Leila De Lima claims that President Rodrigo Duterte can’t get her out of his head.
During a rare appearance Thursday (October 27) at the Kapihan sa Senado news forum, De Lima was asked by reporters how she felt now that her nemeses Duterte seems to be too distracted with his anti-United States (US) rhetoric to attack her.
De Lima answered by disagreeing with that assessment, since she believes that she’s always running on the President’s mind.
“Eh sabi ko nga, busy pa rin ang Pangulo sa kaka-attack sa akin, I’m always on top of his mind,” she told Senate reporters.
The lady politiko said this has been the case even if Duterte was shuffling in and out of the country during his recent foreign trips.
“Even if he was in Beijing, even if he was in the airport about to leave, or when he arrives, kasama ako palagi sa nababanggit niya.”
A few months ago, Duterte linked Liberal Party (LP) member De Lima to the illegal drug trade within the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).
This sparked a series of harrowing experiences for the senator, which almost included the public showing of her alleged sex video with another NBP drug suspect.
” So attitude ko, I still try to live as normally as possible. Although, my attitude is I live by the day. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mga susnuod na ibabato sa akin on a daily basis.
“But I cannot allow that to stymie or to control my daily life. I need to continue, number one, living; and number two, fulfilling my job as a senator,” De Lima said.
