Justice system failed victims of drug war De Lima
The Philippine Star
|June 29, 2024
Despite her acquittal from all the drug charges against her, former senator Leila de Lima said yesterday that the justice system did not work for all the perpetrators and victims of the drug war of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
In an interview with "Storycon" on One News, De Lima said that seven years was a long time to be vindicated from the "politically motivated and manufactured charges" filed by the Duterte administration against her.
"It worked in the end for Leila de Lima. But not in the case of the thousands killed during Duterte's war on drugs," De Lima said in reaction to the statement made earlier by President Marcos that her acquittal indicates that the justice system in the country works.

Jesus Christ Superstar was a big deal in 1970 when no producer would gamble on a biblical rock musical, prompting composers Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to create a concept album instead which was such a hit that it made its Broadway debut in 1971 and became a global phenomenon, reaching our shores the same year when a production starring Boy Camara was presented at CCP followed by many other iterations thereafter including the one in 2000 featuring Basti Artadi and Wolfgang.
