De Lima laments ‘new norm of rewarding villains, persecuting truth-seekers’

In her National Heroes Day’s message on Monday, De Lima said it is “our obligation to protect the freedom we inherited through their blood and sacrifice” in able to truly honor the contributions made by the nation’s heroes.“Unfortunately, this is not what we are witnessing right now. It seems that the new normal for the current regime is to reward villains and crooked individuals, while those who seek truth and justice are persecuted,” the detained senator said.

“Pinapalaya ang mga kriminal at ipinakukulong ang mga inosente at lumalaban sa kabuktutan ng pamahalaan. Marami nang bata ang pinatay ng War on Drugs at daan-daan na rin ang namamatay dahil sa epidemya ng dengue,” she added. De Lima issued the statement after the Bureau of Corrections and the Department of Justice earlier floated the possibility that convicted rapist-murderer and former Calauan Mayor Antonio Sanchez, as well as the New Bilibid Prison convicts-witnesses who testified against her, could be released allegedly due to good behavior.But just recently, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said he had ordered the suspension of the processing of the early release for good conduct of thousands of inmates.
