The term extension and no election situation in 2019 due to the possible shift to federalism has been the Duterte administration’s agenda all along, Senator Leila de Lima said on Friday.

“Lumalabas na ‘yung tunay at maitim nilang balak,” De Lima told reporters moments before the hearing started at the Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court.

“Ang kanilang agenda talaga ay palawigin ang kanilang stay in power,” De Lima said.

De Lima was temporarily released from detention at Camp Crame to appear before the QCMTC Branch 34 hearing on the disobedience to summons charge against her.       /kga
