MANILA, Philippines —Just three days before Christmas, activist Reina Mae Nasino, a mother who suffered the tragedy of losing her 3-month-old infant while in detention in 2020, and two of her companions have been set free from jail..

The Manila Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 47 on Thursday issued a release order for Nasino, Alma Moran and Ram Carlo Bautista after posting a premium of the bail bond imposed by the court.

The surety bond, amounting to P282,000, was paid by the Karapatan-Kapatid human rights network with the surety firm.

Karapatan-Kapatid said they could only pay for surety bonds, saying it is “impossible” to raise the entire bail amount of P1.14 million before December 25.

Judge Paulino Gallegos of the Manila RTC earlier set bail for Nasino and Moran at P420,000 each and Bautista at P570,000.
