Dispatch from Crame No. 759:
Sen. Leila M. de Lima on NBI's probe on Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto's Alleged Violation of Bayanihan to Heal as One Act

NBI sounds pathetic in trying to explain their action in requiring Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto to explain an alleged violation. NBI is defending an indefensible position.

Quite justified is the indignation from many netizens. There is no case here. Didn't the Mayor promptly comply when the national authorities put their foot down on the issue, re: tricycles? Mantakin ninyo: Pagpaliwanagin ba naman si Mayor Vico sa paglabag sa batas na hindi pa naman noon ipinatutupad?

Pilit na pilit. Ano ba yan, NBI? For the sake of its institutional integrity, NBI should drop this case.

Kung ego at kapritso lang ang paiiralin ni Duterte at ng kanyang gobyerno, lalong mapapahamak ang mga Pilipino-mula sa mga frontliners nating di-agarang nabibigyan ng tulong at proteksyon, mga kababayan nating wala nang kinikita at kumakalam ang sikmura sa gutom, hanggang sa mga di-makatarungang inaaresto at ikinukulong.

Bakit kasi hindi na lang tumulong sa mga nagtatrabaho nang matino para makahanap ng solusyon at mabigyan ng sapat na ayuda ang mamamayan?
