Sen. Dela Rosa said he was happy for ex-Sen. De Lima and that he respected a court decision allowing her to post bail.
Watch more News on iWantTFC Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa said he was happy for former senator Leila De Lima and that he respected a court decision allowing her to post bail after nearly seven years behind bars.
Dela Rosa was the national police chief when former president Rodrigo Duterte's administration filed drug cases against De Lima. “I cannot really say with certainty na mahina ang kaso because it withstood the time of President Duterte’s term and after his term, ito na ngayon… dahan-dahang nadi-dismiss so hindi ko masabi. Does it mean na malakas siya noon tapos ngayon humina na? Hindi naman siguro because the facts are the same, the circumstances are still the same,” Dela Rosa said.
“Tanungin mo ang korte kasi sila nag may hawak ng kaso…mahirap na ako ang magsabi, tanungin mo ang korte bakit grinant ang bail, may kulay ba ng pulitika? Sila ang tanungin ninyo, Bakit noon panahon ni President Duterte hindi n’yo grinant yan? ngayon iba na ang Presidente, grinant ninyo?” Dela Rosa said.
Multiple witnesses, including prison gang bosses, died or recanted their testimonies, resulting in the dismissal of two of the three charges against de Lima.
