While Sen. Leila De Lima asked that the President and the Public to spare her family and personal life of criticism and scandal.
President Duterte said that,
“She created the scandal. She knows she is a public official,”
"If you are in public office de Lima, your life is an open book."
"Here is an immoral woman, flaunting well of course in so far as wife of the driver was concerned, it’s adultery. Here is a woman who funded the house of her lover and yet we do not see any complaint about it,”

While the public's opinion is divided against the accusation and revelation of President Duterte, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo said that,
“Remember, the information given by President Duterte is in relation to her being a public (official)… So that encompasses within the duty of the president to serve and protect the people and to inform the state of the nation of whatever is being done by the government officials and whatever situation we are in now,”
“Under the Constitution, all public officials are accountable to their acts. So if you do an illegal act or an act which is contrary to the demeanor of a public official, then you open yourself to criticism,”

Definitely the public deserve to know if Sen. Leila De Lima is involved in illegal drugs and the love affair with the driver might be the key
