MANILA, Philippines — The dismissal of one in three drug cases against Senator Leila de Lima is “further reason to respect” the country’s justice system.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said this in a tweet Thursday, adding that the United Nations will be informed of the senator’s acquittal.
“It is actually proof conclusive that the Philippine justice system works if slowly at least exceeding fine. I knew it all along,” the foreign affairs chief tweeted.
“Will send this to the UN as further reason to respect our justice system before opening the mouth with ignorant comments,” he added.
