OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF SEN. LEILA M. DE LIMA

It has come to my attention that Mocha Uson is spreading another disinformation that I have a cellphone and/or Internet access here at my quarters, citing my recent Twitter post about Bong Go's shameless early campaigning and lack of delicadeza.

For the record, I categorically deny that I have a cellphone or access to Internet here in my detention quarters. Since my unjust arrest and detention in 24 February 2017, I have been diligently and faithfully complying with all the rules and regulations imposed by the custodial authorities. Besides, my quarters are subjected to regular search by a team of the PNP Custodial Unit. All this time, they have found no violation on my part. I am no lawbreaker.

I'm glad though that Ms. Uson is following my posts and tweets. For her information and education, my official accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and e-mail are being administered by my Comms staff, upon my handwritten instructions. This fact can easily be verified.

Of course, it no longer surprises anyone that the Queen of Fake News had it wrong again. Not only is she a certified DDS of Mr. Duterte and a trumpeter of his flawed policies, Ms. Uson now doubles as Bong Go's apologist in a desperate attempt to be in the good graces of Duterte and Go, and, hopefully, to be taken seriously in any important national discourse.
