A day after a local court denied the bail petition of detained former Sen. Leila de Lima, the Supreme Court stressed that the ruling should not be seen as a final judgment.
In an advisory on Thursday, the Supreme Court reiterated that “[A]s per the Order of the trial court, the denial of bail of De Lima is not the final adjudication of the case.”
“Personally I was surprised and, when I saw Senator Leila de Lima, she was also surprised because it’s not everyday that the public information office of the Supreme Court will come up with a media advisory over a case that is not pending with the Supreme Court,” Tacardon told reporters. “We cannot fathom how the court [came to this evaluation] considering these are trumped up charges using fabricated witnesses and evidence,” said Reyes, referring to the two other drug cases—one eventually dismissed in 2021 and the other resulting in an acquittal last month.
For Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, De Lima’s party mate in the Liberal Party, the first two drug cases should have been sufficient basis for releasing her at this point.
