Former party-list congressman representing Akbayan, Rep. Walden Bello believes the controversial senator and former DOJ Secretary, Sen. Leila de Lima will win against Pres. Rody Duterte on her word war against the President.
According to Walden Bello, Sen. De Lima's courage regarding her word war against the 71-year-old President Duterte will surely favor her. Bello also added that main reason why Pres. Duterte attacked the senator was because he found in her a worthy opponent.
The former Akbayan Representative was quoted as saying "I also know she (De Lima) is one hell of a woman, who's not going to allow herself to be bullied into submission by a guy who's admitted [to] fabricating or planting evidence to get rid of people in the past."
Walden Bello also believes that our government under the leadership of Pres. Rody Duterte is made up of 98% Duterte ass kissers, which makes De Lima "indespensible" because she is not afraid to stand up against the President. That is the reason why he is angry at her, says Bello.
The Akbayan Representative added further that "That's really the reason Mr. D is persecutng her, because he can't stand any opposition."
Walden Bello even said that the President of the Philippines, Pres. Duterte announced that Sen. De Lima is finished, the President might be talking about himself.
"Siguro sarili niya (Duterte) [ang] tinutukoy niya, kasi sigurado ako na sa laban na ito, hindi yung senadora ang aatras."
