Ragos and Ablen earlier claimed in their separate affidavits that de Lima received a total of P5 million in drug money through Dayan. “Ragos was saying [in his affidavit that]he is privy to these transactions because he was close to Secretary de Lima and Secretary de Lima trusts him very much,” the lawmaker added. But President Rodrigo Duterte said De Lima was on top of the drug operations at the NBP when she was Justice secretary. He said it is important to find out where the P15 billion drug money ended up. It is not only De Lima but also other individuals who are probably guilty,” the Justice secretary said.
