Sen. Leila M. de Lima's Handwritten Notes
Dispatch from Crame Nos. 20 & 21

It hurts that some of my colleagues apparently believe (or choose to believe, for their own reasons & prejudices) the lies being assiduously & relentlessly peddled about me by the likes of Alvarez, Aguirre, Calida, Jimenez, Topacio & Sandra Cam. Judging from their body language & line of questioning during a Senate inquiry, a handful of my colleagues were predisposed at accepting, hook, line & sinker, the perjurious (albeit coerced I believe) the testimonies of Kerwin Espinosa & Ronnie Dayan about me being an alleged beneficiary of drug money from Espinosa, inspited of the glaring, even irreconcilable inconsistencies in their respective stories. One of my colleagues was even badgering Dayan in my presence, into implicating me in the drug trade. So, who's disrespecting who? May God bless them...

God help us that there are unsavory characters such as Speaker Alvarez, SOJ Aguirre & SOLGEN Calida holding sensitive & otherwise venerable positions in our government. Nakakasuka na po ang mga kasinungalingan nila. Pilit nilang nilalason ang isipan ng sambayanan sa mga imbentong paratang nila sa akin ("No. 1 drug lord", "Public enemy no. 1", etc.). Lying bastards!!! Our people do not deserve such venomous bunch of public servants.
