Robredo: De Lima acquittal shows her only sin was to stand up for what’s right

The acquittal of former senator Leila de Lima in the second drug-related case filed against her shows that her only sin was to stand up for what is right, a longtime ally and former vice president Leni Robredo said. | GabrielLaluINQ

“Tagumpay ito ng katotohanan pagkatapos ng mahigit na anim na taon ng paninira at kasinungalingan laban kay Sen. Leila, na ang tanging kasalanan lang ay ang matapang na pagtindig para sa tama,” Robredo said.

“Simula pa lang, buong-buo ang aking tiwala sa kawalan ng kasalanan ni Sen Leila. Sa kabila ng anim na taon na siya’y inipit at pinahirapan, nanindigan ako na darating ang araw na mababawi niya ang kanyang kalayaan at mabuting pangalan,” she added.Robredo said she joins all those who celebrate the acquittal of de Lima, adding that the court decision only shows that there is no strong evidence against the former senator.
