"We
had a chance to elect brave, competent, independent-minded and compassionate
people, who understood and were committed to the true meaning of 'public service',
but we, as a nation, turned their offer down."
The
8 senatorial candidates of the opposition “"offered themselves up to serve
the interests of the Filipino people - above all and with no
reservations," said De Lima.
The
detained senator said the loss was “painful”, and that the Filipino people
should not give up.
"This
fight is perhaps the most important fight of our entire history as a nation. We
are fighting for our future, our children's future. We are fighting for our
soul as a nation," De Lima said.
"There
will be no playing the blame game. There will, nevertheless, be a lot of
reflection, a heightened resolve and, above all, the opening up of avenues of
communications," she added.
