Philippine senator asks court to stop Duterte attacks
MANILA, Philippines — The senator who initiated an investigation into Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s deadly anti-drug campaign asked the Supreme Court on Monday to stop verbal attacks against her by Duterte, who has described her as a “dirty woman” for allegedly having an affair with her driver.
Sen. Leila de Lima, who has been linked by Duterte to the illegal drug trade, said the petition she filed seeks to stop the president and his men from gathering information about her private life and disclosing it publicly.
