‘KAWAWA NAMAN SI SATANAS 'PAG NAGKATAON’

De Lima hits back at Duterte for comments about going to hell


Senator Leila de Lima on Thursday hit back after President Rodrigo Duterte called her the queen of hell. 

In a handwritten note from her detention facility in Camp Crame, De Lima said Duterte’s recent remarks before a Filipino community in Bangkok were “libelous.” 

“Unsatisfied with the fact that he was already able to imprison me, he continues to destroy me before various audiences like a market fishwife and leaves no dignity whatsoever to the office he holds,” said De Lima, a staunch critic of the President.

“I pity the President for believing in his own lies. I continue to pray for a miracle that during his visit in Thailand, the President will, during a lucid, Fentanyl-free interval, be enlightened in the peaceful ways of the country he is now visiting, like the way Gautama Buddha achieved enlightenment,” she added.  

“That might be too much to ask, but miracles do happen. This is my fervent prayer so that he may be saved from hell and so that Satan may be saved from his potty mouth. Kawawa naman si Satanas kay Duterte 'pag nagkataon.”

Duterte on Wednesday went on a fresh tirade against De Lima while in Bangkok, saying the senator has an even worse standing in the afterlife compared to him. 

“Sigurado man, ‘pag sa edad, siyempre mauna ako, sigurado — wala naman akong ambisyon, impyerno talaga ako. Iyan ang totoo. Pero maghintay ako sa kanya, pagdating niya, sabihin ko talaga, ‘Senyor Satanas, dumating na ang reyna na hinihintay mo.’ Eh totoo man,” he said amid loud cheers. 

Duterte also had choice words for what he called De Lima's thick face.

“Alam mo, hinanahanap ko talaga. Wala akong na akong nakita sa Pilipinas, hinahanap ko ang babae na napakakapal ang mukha, siya lang,” he said.

“Alam mo, lapitan mo iyan, laslasan mo ng blade, hindi tatalab. Buhusan mo ng asido ang mukha, ganoon lang iyan. Balewala eh,” he added.

De Lima is currently detained at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame over drug-related charges. 

She has repeatedly denied the allegations against her, saying she is a victim of political persecution after spearheading the investigation on the alleged extrajudicial killings committed amid the Duterte administration's war on drugs. —JST, GMA News
