The Founder of The Communist Party in The Philippines (CPP) Jose Maria Sison is Senator De Lima's Uncle

Because Sen de Lima has become the most talks and most controversial subject to write for newspapers both on print and digital media nowadays, including those television appearances she has attended and some of the radio interviews she has gone through, I considered her a newsmaker. There are lots of written articles about her that contribute largely in news reports during this period. She has become the favorite star for the netizens' online-bashings as well. But did you know that Jose Maria Sison, the founder of the Communist Party in the Philippines is de Lima's uncle?

From Senator de Lima's short account of her online biography, I learned that she bears a long name of seven words as Leila Norma Eulalia Josefa Magistrado de Lima. Her maternal family name is Magistrado and de Lima her paternal family name. She was born on August 27, 1959. She is the eldest daughter of the former Philippine COMELEC Commissioner Vicente de Lima and Norma Magistrado. Her Aunt, Julie de Lima married Jose Maria Sison, the founder of the Communist Party in the Philippines (CPP) has become her uncle by marriage. Sen de Lima finished her Bachelor of Laws degree at San Beda College of Law in 1985 with honors as Salutatorian and one of the top ten of the 1985 Bar Examinations - she placed 8th with an 86.26% ratings.

Kung titingnan natin ang kaniyang family background, si Sen de Lima ay nagmula sa isang buena familia ng Iriga, Camarines Sur. Matalino at hindi pipitsuging abogada. Nang panahon ni former president Arroyo, she was apointed as the Chairperson of the Philippine Commission on Human Rights in May 2008 but in return Sen de Lima has sent off former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to jail. In the present, Sen de Lima ay kaliwa't kanang humaharap ng iba't ibang kaso na may koneksyon sa druga at korapsyon. Ito na kaya ang tinatawag na bad karma? Pera ba, kapangyarihan ba kung bakit hinayaan niyang hubaran ang kaniyang pagkatao, reputasyon at lahat na mayroon siya?

In social media, Senator de Lima has become the favorite subject for online bashings. Netizens called her in many names like: Magdalina ng Senado, Liar Queen, Tuwad Queen, Kubol Queen, Bilibid Dancing Queen, Bilibid Concert Queen, and etc.
