MANILA, Philippines — Nobody is perfect but the blatant disregard for honesty is “damning,” opposition Senator Leila De Lima said on Saturday. But the blatant disregard for honesty when confronted with a clear and evident truth is damning,” she said in a statement. ADVERTISEMENTDe Lima issued the statement as she called out Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio and Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo for disregarding honesty as an election issue. The presidential daughter earlier said everyone lies and that honesty should not be an election issue. It appears that these two pro-administration mouthpieces do not consider the matter of honesty as an important election issue.
