Open Letter to International Community and Media: The Truth About Sen. De Lima's Arrest (Viral)

Netizens took to social media to defend President Rody Duterte after numerous international news media organizations made headlines that Sen. Leila De Lima was arrested because she was a staunch critic of the Duterte admin without fully explaining that it was due to De Lima's alleged involvement in the illegal drug trades.


 An Open Letter intended to the international community and the international news media is now circulating online calling the attentions of the world the truth about the arrest of Sen. De Lima.

World-renowned news media organizations including The Independent, The Guardian, The New York Times, CBC News, and The Time Magazine to name a few all reported on their headlines that Sen. De Lima was arrested because she is a staunch critic of Pres. Rody Duterte.

The alleged proliferation of false information by the international news media and the international communities forced the supporters of Pres. Duterte to initiate a social media-wide campaign to inform the general public on what is really the reasons why De Lima was arrested through an Open Letter posted by numerous Pro-Duterte FB Page and Pro-Duterte social media warriors.

Here's the Complete Statement of the Open Letter to the International Community and Media:

Dear International community and media:

This woman, Senator Leila De Lima, was arrested not because of being a critic of President Duterte. She was arrested because of the cases filed against her indicating her involvement in the illegal drug trade. When has it been wrong to arrest someone, politician or not, because of involvement in illegal drug trade?

By just emphasizing the "Duterte critic" in your headlines, you are down playing the drug cases filed against the Senator; and, probably, its result whether it's guilty or not. The issue here is not De Lima's political stance but her connection with the drug lords and her part in the drug trade.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President.
