Sanlakas: De Lima not qualified to be senator

A multi-sectoral organization on Monday claimed that former Justice Secretary Leila de Lima is not qualified to become a senator because she is an advocate of the Aquino administration’s “straight path” (tuwid na daan) governance which it said was “twisted.”

Leody de Guzman, first nominee of Sanlakas in the party-list elections, said De Lima was one of the leading advocates of the straight path policy under which crimes were committed against the people. He cited the injustice done to victims of summary executions that included journalists, massive unemployment and underemployment, contractualization and corruption.
