DETAINED Sen. Leila de Lima appealed to the public to defend a blogger who, she claimed, has been harassed and bashed on social media by supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte for criticizing seven senators who refused to support a resolution against extrajudicial killings (EJKs).

“We must defend Pinoy Ako Blog, both as the social media entity that brings information, raises questions, and invites critical thinking and constructive discussion that are vital to our democracy, as well as the private person behind that entity, Ms. Jover Laurio, who is a citizen under attack for exercising her constitutional right,” de Lima said in a statement on Sunday.
