STATEMENT OF SEN. LEILA M. DE LIMA ON HER ALLEGED INVOLVEMENT IN THE RELEASE OF SUSPECTED ABU SAYYAF MEMBERS

"This latest accusation that I am a protector and financier of terrorists is not only totally insane but also outrageously ridiculous! It only exposes at how this administration could bend so low at digging in the imagined dirt that it fails to see the public laughing at them.

"Like many of you, I too am exhausted and disgusted at this administration's obsession for manufactured lies and malicious conjectures to smear my integrity and damage my name. Sadly, some hapless pawns are more than willing to play in this vicious game of political persecution and character assassination.

"But what is getting clearer to me and to most good people I know is that the administration's demolition job against its political opponents is sinking to a new low to hide its own incompetence and recklessness to address more pressing national problems.
