First off, some appreciation ought to go Leila de Lima’s way. It’s no surprise that Jovito Palparan, before he disappeared for parts unknown (what’s this, he means to do a Ping Lacson?), sent some very choice words De Lima’s way. Maybe Judge Teodora Gonzales, who issued the arrest warrant after finding merit in the case against him, is courageous in her own right. But it helps greatly to know you have a wall of support behind you. It helps greatly to know you have a bastion of fortitude behind you. It helps greatly to know you have a secretary of justice you can expect to enforce justice and not subvert it behind your back.
