MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Leila de Lima made a series of tweets on Monday night in reaction to the tirade she earlier got from President Rodrigo Duterte during his briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Mr. President, have pity on the people. Their loved ones are dying and I’m still your problem?” she said in a tweet written in Filipino.
In another tweet, she also accused the president of being the primary reason that COVID-19 slipped into the country.
“And don’t be a liar. We all know that it was you who did not want to ban the mainland Chinese [from entering the country] when the virus was spreading because you’re their lapdog,” she said.
