Leni, Leila reunite in Naga
Former Vice President Leni Robredo highlighted the stark contrast between the detentions of former Senator Leila de Lima and former President Rodrigo Duterte, questioning the due process afforded to de Lima.
Robredo pointed out that De Lima faced charges and underwent the legal process for nearly seven years before her eventual release, despite the charges being dismissed.
In contrast, Duterte was arrested based on an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for alleged crimes against humanity.
Robredo emphasized that De Lima never questioned the due process and faced all the accusations against her, even if they were considered unfounded.
