‘6 more years of this?’ De Lima slams Duterte’s ‘legacy of hunger’

President Rodrigo Duterte’s leadership is a “never-ending crisis,” detained Senator Leila de Lima said on Saturday.

“Walang palya at walang hangganan ang kapalpakan. More than a year into the pandemic, and at the tail-end of Duterte’s term, there is still no clear improvement in the country’s poverty situation,” she said in a dispatch from Camp Crame.

“Sa tinatayang P4.2 milyon na pamilyang nagugutom nitong nakaraang tatlong buwan, may ilalala pa ba ang administrasyong ito?” De Lima said.

“Patuloy ang pagdurusa ng sambayanang Pilipino dahil sa kawalan ng maayos na ayuda, konkretong aksyon sa nakakaalarmang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga pangunahing bilihin, at batugang pamamahala ng pangulo na wala man lang komprehensibong plano kung paano matutugunan ang mga pangunahing pangangailagan,” the senator said.

With only eleven months of Duterte at the helm of a sinking economy, De Lima said it appeared the administration had no plan to seriously tackle the issues.

“Instead, the government continues to have an inutile for a head and kowtowers and yes-men instead of leaders – all worked up with premature campaigning,” he said .

“ His cohorts are busy politicking, while Duterte himself contemplates running for VP. Pagpapanatili sa kapangyarihan na lang ang nasa tuktok ng kanilang prayoridad. Bahala na kung ilan milyon pa ang magutom at mawalan ng trabaho,” De Lima lamented.

“And they want six more years of this?” she said.
