We are not a US Colony.
Senate President Vicente Sotto and
senator Imee Marcos was in unison when they slammed the US Senate resolution
calling for the immediate release of their colleague detained opposition
senator Leila De Lima.
“We are a sovereign nation. We have
our own judicial processes. What will they say if we pass a resolution asking
the US to put in jail all abortionists in their country considering abortion is
illegal in ours?” Sotto told reporters.

The
Senate president noted that criminal laws “are territorial and are different in
every country.”
“Sovereign states have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide the
violation of their own laws. We are not a colony anymore,” he added.
Intrusion on purely PH internal affairs
For senator Imee Marcos, the said
passed US senate resolution is an outright intrusion.
“Sa
palagay ko, talagang garapal na pakikialam yon. Kaya tigilan na nila. Hindi na
tayo little brown brother,” Marcos told reporters in an interview.
(I think that’s an outright intrusion. They should stop. We’re no longer
their little brown brother).
“Hindi na tayo colony ng Amerika. Kaya dapat, konting respeto rin,” she
added.
(We’re no longer a colony of the US, show a bit of respect).
