Detained Senator Leila de Lima on Wednesday slammed President Rodrigo Duterte for devoting a large portion of his televised speech on Monday to a tirade red-tagging members of the Makabayan bloc.
“It’s supposed to be a President’s weekly report on the Covid-19 situation but what we’ve been hearing since Day 1 are desperate attempts at damage control,” she said in a dispatch from Camp Crame.
“In his latest address to the nation, he went on a red-tagging rampage against the Makabayan bloc, clearly a diversionary tactic,” De Lima said.
She said Duterte’s “blabbering is an everyday reminder of this administration’s failed pandemic response.”
“The only thing he is capable of doing is to create distractions to mask his ineptitude. But even these have failed to persuade the people that he is a decisive and competent leader,” said De Lima.
“Ang dami niyang kuda eh itong mga binabalahura niya palagi, sila pa ang mas nararamdaman ng tao sa panahon ng matinding krisis. Tigilan na ni Duterte ang panlilihis sa mga usapin sa panggigipit sa Makabayan bloc, sa mga kritiko at tagapagtanggol ng katotohanan at karapatang pantao,” she said.
