MANILA -- Former Vice-President Leni Robredo, ex-senator Antonio Trillanes and several others posted Monday their reactions to the decision of a Muntinlupa court to grant former Senator Leila De Lima's petition for bail.
"Pinatutunayang muli ngayon na walang basehan ang mga paratang laban kay Senator Leila. Ang lahat ng mga paninira at panggigipit na naranasan niya sa loob ng halos pitong taon ay bunga ng kaniyang pangangahas na tumindig para sa tama—para sa ating mga kababayan." European Union Ambassador to the Philippines Luc Véron said he was very pleased by the news of De Lima's release.
"This is the biggest step in her quest for justice and redemption. The whole world will now know how Duterte misused and abused power to persecute those who dared stand up to his murderous regime. Mabuhay ka, Sen. Leila! #Leilaya," Trillanes said on X. She added that former president Duterte and his minions "must face the consequences of their actions" for jailing De Lima. "She never should have been unjustly prosecuted and detained by former President Rodrigo Duterte," deputy Asia director Bryony Lau said in a statement.
