SEN. LEILA M. DE LIMA'S STATEMENT OF THANKS TO SP SOTTO AND HER OTHER COLLEAGUES

6/5/19

In all humility and sincerity, I thank Senate President Vicente Sotto III and my colleagues at the Senate for acknowledging my efforts and hard work as a Senator despite my political persecution. Their support - with the assistance of my diligent and competent staff and the relevant units of the Senate secretariat - have made all the difference in achieving our shared goals for the Filipino people. In particular, our combined efforts have resulted in the quality of work that we have done at the Senate Committee on Social Justice, Welfare and Rural Development, which I chair.

I'm hopeful that the Senate would continue to shepherd the passage into law of more measures that would truly benefit the poor and the marginalized sectors in the coming 18th Congress, with prayer that the Senate will always stand on the side of truth, justice and democracy.

Mabuhay si SP Sotto! Mabuhay ang Senado!

On a personal note, my fervent wish and prayer is for me to attain vindication and freedom soonest, so I can do more and serve more in the 2nd half of my term. With God's loving grace...
