MANILA, Philippines – Leila de Lima, former senator and a Philippine opposition figure, has now been cleared of all the drug charges filed against her during the term of her nemesis, former president Rodrigo Duterte. In her last case, the former lawmaker was accused of being complicit in the “widespread drug trade” inside the New Bilibid Prison’s maximum security compound, in her capacity as former justice secretary who had supervisory powers over the national penitentiary. Bilibid convicts were also allegedly able to bribe her with P70 million, which she was also accused of using to run and win as senator in 2016.
