Take 2 for de Lima

I WOULD just have dismissed the scathing remark by Hannah Neumann of the recent visiting European Parliament delegation on the detention of former senator Leila de Lima as the dying spasm of Western culture desiring to arbitrarily impose its legalese upon the country's jurisprudence. But then I remember having written something on the issue years ago. I've thought of running it again if only for Neumann's intellectual, albeit literary, nourishment.

May this narrative enlighten her on just what kind of a woman she and her ilk have been endeavoring to champion on the world stage.
