Updated 4:16 p.m.Former President Benigno S. Aquino III on Monday admitted that the possibility of suffering the same fate that befell Senator Leila De Lima sometimes crossed his mind. ADVERTISEMENTThe former Philippine leader made the remark at the preliminary investigation into the controversial national anti-dengue vaccination project at the Department of Justice (DOJ) in Manila. “Hindi natin maiwasang mag-isip ng ganun,” Aquino said when asked if he thinks he could be sent to prison just like De Lima. De Lima has been detained at the custodial center of the Philippine National Police for more than a year on drug charges. “The only (thing) we have is the truth and with the help of God, we will overcome these challenges,” Aquino said.
