Iniulat na binawian ng buhay

Ni NOEL ABUEL
Binatikos ni re-electionist at Senador Leila M. de Lima ang nasa likod ng pagpapakalat ng fake news na sinasabing binawian na ito ng buhay habang nakadetine sa Camp Crame.
“Why are my enemies and detractors so afraid of me, that they have to spread the fake news on YouTube and social media that I am already dead?” tanong ni De Lima.
Tinukoy ng senador ang lumabas sa YouTube channel na Banat Trending News na may titulong “JUST IN! SAWAKAS PDUTERTE! SEN. DELIMA CONFIRMED! PUMANA4AW NA?”
Sinabi pa ni De Lima na ang patuloy na pagtatangka ng mga naglalako ng fake news na magpakalat ng mga kasinungalingan tungkol sa kanya ay hindi katanggap-tanggap.
“It is not enough that I have already been unjustly imprisoned for more than five years. It is not enough that I am running for re-election with the handicap of campaigning from jail, without being able to go out to talk directly to voters about my program of government and convince them why I deserve a renewed mandate. It is not enough that I’m not being allowed to conduct live video and audio interviews with the media, or participate in senatorial candidates’ debates and fora as if the mere sight of my face and sound of my voice will cause some instability or be a threat to national security,” she said,” paliwanag nito.
“All of these are not enough, for them to still go on spreading lies to derail my campaign, handicapped as it already is. What these people are doing is already beyond condemnation,” dagdag pa nito.
Giit pa ni De Lima sisiguruhin nito na mananagot ang nagpakalat ng fake news.
“This cannot be allowed to go on. I am instructing my legal team to file the necessary legal action against those responsible for this fake news,” banta pa nito.
