MANILA–US President Donald Trump has congratulated Philippines Government and President Rodrigo Duterte in his efforts in eliminating drug-lords in the country.
Following an arrest of a Philippines Senator over drug’s allegations, Trump tweeted a congratulatory article saying Philippines Judiciary under President Duterte is a no nonsense department which cannot tolerate corrupt individuals in Philippines regardless of their status.
“This is how my judiciary is going to operate here in US. Congratulations Philippines Government.” The tweet ended.
A Philippines senator and staunch critic of President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs was on Friday morning arrested by law enforcement agents after charges were filed in court alleging that she received money from drug dealers inside the country’s prisons.
Senator Leila de Lima is accused of orchestrating a drug-trafficking ring when she was justice secretary during the 2010-2015 administration of Benigno Aquino.
