PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte told senators over dinner Tuesday that evidence against Sen. Leila De Lima was supplied by international intelligence sources, and were not trumped-up charges as what the detained senator has been claiming. It’s not only the locals who supplied the intelligence report against de Lima,” Ejercito reporters Wednesday. “There was no output expected except that we get to have a dinner with the President and get to know him better,” the Senate President said. “I think that’s very human of him, for him to actually say ‘Help me with our programs.’ ‘Give me time to do it. Just let me…allow me to do my job.’ I think that’s very human of him.
