MANILA, Philippines – Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. slammed Justice Secretary Leila de Lima over her “delicadeza” statement concerning his plans to seek higher office in the 2016 elections.

“Mukhang yung ating DOJ Secretary, matapatan lang ng flashlight ay magsasalita na.”

This was how Revilla reacted on Tuesday to De Lima’s statement that while he could run for higher office in 2016, “the matter is actually addressed to his sense of delicadeza.”

“Bakit naman nya tinatanggalan ang karapatan ko na magpasalamat sa mga taong patuloy na nagmamahal sa akin? Sinong walang delicadeza sa aming dalawa?” Revilla asked.

“Yan ay pasasalamat at hindi pangangampanya. Hindi ko kailangang mangampanya, ang layo pa ng election…” he said.
