Senator Leila De Lima will be detained at the Philippine National Police (PNP) Custodial Center based on the commitment order issued by the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court.

The Senator appeared before Muntinlupa RTC Branch 204 of Judge Juanita T. Guerrero along with members of the PNP for the return of the warrant.

In less than 10 minutes, the Senator returned to the bus while her lawyers waited for the commitment order.

Before leaving, the Senator waved and said thank you to her supporters who were chanting “One for Leila” outside the Hall of Justice. IDL
