Nababahala ang isang senador na mauubos ang mga testigo laban sa kanya kaya’t hinikayat nito ang mga natitira pa na ilantad na ang nalalaman at kung sino ang nagpapadiin sa kanya sa kaso.

Ito ang reaksyon ni Senator Leila de Lima kasunod na rin ng pagkamatay ni National Bilibid Prison inmate Jaybee Niño Sebastian na naiulat na nahawaan ng coronavirus disease 2019.

“I need all these witnesses to stay alive, and not to die in prison one by one, so that in the near future they can eventually tell the whole truth about how Duterte and his sycophantic minions connived to set me up and get rid of me,” aniya.

Nangangahulutgan aniya na ang pagkamatay ni Sebastian ay bawas din sa testigo laban kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, Vitalliano Aguirre, Jose Calida, Persida Acosta, Sandra Cam, Ferdinand Topacio, mga retiradong police officials, at lahat ng mga sangkot para palabasin siya na may kinalaman illegal drugs.

Atty. Jimmy Bondoc, bet ding maging ka-tandem ni VP Sara si Sen. Robin

Ang pahayag ni De lima ay batay na rin sa kanyang obserbasyon sa asawa ni Sebastian na naging hysterical at nagbanta pa sa mga opisyal matapos na malaman nitong patay na ang kanyang asawa.

“I am also sure she knows a lot about the intense pressure exerted on Sebastian and his family to falsely testify against me during the House Justice Committee hearings on the Bilibid Drug Trade in September and October 2016. Sebastian refused to falsely testify before the House Committee until he was stabbed and was almost killed inside NBP Building 14 on September 28, 2016. A few days later, he was dragged to the Batasan, with his stab wounds still fresh, to falsely testify against me.” banggit pa ni De lima.
