Sinabi ng Senadora kamakailan na "IF any harm happen to her the chief executive will be liable and responsible".
De Lima said Duterte should be considered the “number one suspect” if something happens to her, quoting Duterte’s statements Monday wherein he mentioned the senator as he threatened to have narcopoliticians killed. Nabangit pa ng senadora na“Kung may mangyari sa 'kin, sino ang number one suspect? 'Di ba siya? And I’m making him responsible if something happens to me,”
Kung maymangyari sa akin,directly or Im making him the Number 1 suspect.De Lima said she considers as a “veiled threat” Duterte’s mention of her in a speech in Malacañang during the mass oath-taking of newly-appointed government officials.In the said speech, Duterte said: “Magtanong ka ng isang pulis dito kung may sinabi ako na patayin mo ‘yang si De Lima o patayin mo ‘yang si ano. I never ordered. Ang sinabi ko lang… Remember that I declared war. I did not declare any just police punitive action. No, no, far from it.”
“Alam ko naman 'yan, na I’m always on top of his mind. 'Pag sinabi niya yung droga, you can be sure na ako yung isusunod niya. But this is the first time na nagbabanggit siya about patay,” dagdag pa ng Senadora.
Patuloy pa din umano syang nakakatanggap ng mga pagbabanta sa kanyang buhay throug her personal phone kagaya ng nabangit nya sa kanyang sa mga pagdinig sa kongreso.
De Lima and Dutere have been at odds with each other since De Lima was chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), which initiated an investigation into the supposed summary killings in Davao City. Duterte was the city mayor then.
