It was even a brilliant move to have Sen. Emmanuel Pacquiao propose that the posts of chair and members of the justice committee be declared vacant. De Lima defaulted by foolishly walking out of the Senate during Senator Alan Cayetano’s privilege speech. That such overwhelming majority voted to remove de Lima as justice committee chair really was her undoing. It is also the Yellow Cult, or what’s left of it. It would be very useful, for instance, to know that Rodolfo Salalima, Duterte’s secretary of Information and Communications Technology, was chief legal counsel and senior advisor of Singaporean-controlled Globe Telecoms.
