    ‘Very, very soon’

    By Bullit Marquez  |  Jun 05, 2023 10:40 PM

    That’s what lawyer Boni Tacardon told supporters of detained former senator Leila De Lima who were expecting the court’s decision on Monday, June 5, on her petition for bail.

    Pambabalahura kay Leila de Lima

    By Christian Esguerra  |  May 21, 2023 7:07 AM

    Acquitted na sa dalawang kaso. Higit anim na taon nakakulong. Ganun-ganon na lang ba ‘yun? Parang wala lang?

    Is Remulla testing court’s independence on de Lima case?

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  May 15, 2023 11:30 AM

    It appears that Remulla knows well the weight of the prosecution’s evidence against the former senator. That’s why he supports his people’s move to block the bail petition if it’s based on merit.

    Former senator Leila De Lima acknowledges her supporters outside the courtroom on Friday, May 12, saying that her acquittal in one of the two remaining drug cases filed six years ago was an answered prayer.

    Why Leila de Lima was marked for assassination

    By Antonio J. Montalvan II  |  May 10, 2023 10:51 PM

    Unafraid courage. No one else had that but Leila de Lima. Her 2009 investigation of the Davao Death Squad was dangerous and difficult, but she saw it as necessary.

    No decision on bail but de Lima a picture of strength and optimism

    By Bullit Marquez  |  May 08, 2023 11:05 PM

    There was no decision on her petition for bail. But former Sen. Leila de Lima, who has been in detention for six years for what her supporters insist are trumped-up drug charges, was a picture of optimism when she appeared at the RTC Branch 256 Muntinlupa City Monday, May 8.

    Remulla turning out to be de Lima’s tormentor

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Apr 24, 2023 11:30 AM

    Moving to reopen one case and threatening to block her bail petition is far from being compassionate to a former senator and former chairman of the Commission on Human Rights. That is prolonging an injustice when its end appears to be drawing near.

    How the world watches the De Lima case

    By Antonio J. Montalvan II  |  Apr 23, 2023 5:47 PM

    It is a fait accompli. The world is intensely observing the Philippine government how it will resolve the counterfeited cases against Leila de Lima.

    By Christian Esguerra  |  Jan 20, 2023 7:00 AM

    Tama bang isakripisyo si De Lima para lang hindi magalit si Duterte? Ngayong linggo, pakinggan ang komentaryo ni Christian Esguerra sa VERA Files.
