Dispatch from Crame No. 1143:
Sen. Leila M. de Lima on Duterte's apology for the killing of Chinese drug suspects

Duterte felt sorry for the deaths of four Chinese nationals in the P3.4 billion drug buy-bust operation in Zambales last Tuesday, Sept. 7.

Sobrang kabaligtaran kung paano niya trinato ang libo-libong ordinaryong Pilipino na pinatay ng drug war niya, na kahit patay na halos isumpa pa niya at minumura. Walang iniwan ni katiting man lang na dignidad sa mga biktima at kahit sa nagluluksang pamilya nila.

Kahit sa mga inosente at batang biktima ng Tokhang, walang sorry. Pero sa mga big-time drug suspects, ambilis ng paghingi ng patawad.

Duterte's apology for the Chinese drug suspects killed, only proves that even in his drug war, Duterte cares more about the feelings of China than the families of Filipinos who also lost their loved ones in PNP operations.

We thought that Duterte only prioritized China's feelings when it came to the West Philippine Sea. It turns out that even with summary executions, he feels more sorry for dead Chinese big-time suspects than for lowly Filipinos.
