“Five years too late but still appreciated.” This was how detained Senator Leila De Lima took the news on her accusers’ move to retract the drug allegations against her which put her to jail five years ago.

The former Justice Secretary turned lawmaker further said that no matter how late, justice will still be served.

She also went on and said she has been waiting for this moment. Regardless of how long the wait is, De Lima is thankful that the truth proving her innocence is finally coming out. In her earlier statement, De Lima said she has already forgiven those who were used behind her detention and encouraged others to come out in the open to reveal the truth.‘Time to set De Lima free’

“With the recent retraction made by key witnesses of their testimonies in the bogus charges filed against sitting Sen. Leila De Lima, this saga has but one logical conclusion: free Sen. De Lima and hold accountable those responsible for this great injustice,” Trillanes said in a statement on Monday.
