(I am happy that, at last, justice reigned, and we can be with Sen. Leila de Lima, who is free. This is a mark of success for her and our country.)
In the 2022 national elections, de Lima ran under Robredo’s senatorial slate while Robredo vied for the presidential seat. However, the two did not win their positions.
Both de Lima and Robredo hail from Camarines Sur.
