The camp of former Senator Leila de Lima on Monday said they are now awaiting the resolution of a bail petition they filed in seeking the ex-legislator’s temporary freedom.
Lawyer Boni Tacardo, legal counsel of de Lima, said the hearings for the petition may now be considered “finished” after witness Jojo Baligad, the prosecution’s last witness, was presented before the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 256.
“Nananalangin kami na ito ay madesisyunan nang maaga at sana makita ng hukuman ang mga argumento na malamang magbibigay na ng pyansa para kay Senator Leila de Lima,” he said. “For the first time, walang nabanggit tungkol kay Senator Leila de Lima kaya di na rin kami nag-cross [examination]. Nakatuon lang siya sa sinabi niya na na-involved siya sa illegal drug trading at nagbigay ng pera sa mga tao na di kasama sa kaso maliban kay Colonel Eli raw na binigyan niya ng pera,” he added.
