De Lima marks 2nd year in detention

SUNDAY, Feb. 24, marked opposition Senator Leila M. De Lima’s second year in detention, a situation flagged by her allies as well as international groups as a highlight of President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s administration. In her statement, Vice-President Maria Leonor G. Robredo said in part, “my prayers and best wishes go to my friend and fellow Bicolana, Leila….I have no doubt, the day will come soon, when you will walk under free skies, head held high in vindication, to the thanks of all those you sacrificed your own freedom for.”
