Sen. Leila M. de Lima's Handwritten Note
Dispatch from Crame No. 71

4 / 26 / 17

Of course, Duterte's allies would be quick to hit Atty. Sabio's bold move via his communication to the ICC and dismiss the same as "doomed." Ostensibly so.

Subliminally, though, if not consciously, these presidential defenders know the grave implications and high stakes involved should ICC formally intervene and indict the President and his enforcers. That is why Solgen Calida, an obnoxious creature as he is, now moves to demonize the complainant, Atty. Sabio, and threatens hims with a disbarment rap.

When will the President's underlings ever learn to fight fair and square?
