The petition was for a drug case that saw former senator Leila de Lima accused of conspiring to commit illegal narcotics trade in a Philippine prison.
"Sad to inform you that the court denied Senator Leila's bail application," Filibon Tacardon, her legal counsel, told reporters.
De Lima, 63, had requested bail in connection with a case in which she has been accused of conspiring to illegally trade narcotics in prison.The court said her request was"untenable" and her culpability or innocence would be decided on the basis of evidence presented. Duterte was president from 2016 to 2022. He waged an anti-narcotics campaign in which thousands of drug users and dealers were killed, many by police or in mysterious circumstances.
De Lima launched an investigation into the bloody campaign in 2017, calling on the president to order police to stop killing.A court in 2021 dismissed a drug case against her while another court in May acquitted her of a charge that she received drug money from prison inmates.
