MANILA - Prosecutors have opposed detained Sen. Leila de Lima's bid to be released on bail in one of her drug cases, citing the timing of her plea over three years since her arrest.
De Lima, a staunch administration critic, has denied charges against her, saying they were political persecution. They accused De Lima of taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic in moving for a bail hearing where prosecutors would be forced to present evidence. They noted they still have to fly to China to talk to 2 witnesses and get Jaybee Sebastian to testify.
The prosecution, according to De Lima, did not even contradict in their opposition that there is "absolutely no admissible, credible or direct evidence" that the case involves drugs. Initially accused of illegal drug trading, prosecutors spent months amending the information to conspiracy to commit illegal drug trading, despite De Lima’s objection.
Ibalik ang decente..👊
Malakas at buo pa rin ang kanyang diwa pero ang nag-utos ng pagpapahirap sa kanya ay siyang tumatanggap sa parusa...👍✋
