A sad weekend for the
detained opposition senator- Leila De Lima.
The Department of
Justice (DOJ) has just announced through Secretary Menardo Guevarra that the
charges against the opposition senator are non-bailable.

DOJ Secretary came after the senator has once more asked formally the court t
grant her temporary release 2 weeks before her 61st birthday on August 27.

prerogative. But note that she is facing three drug-related cases, all of which
are non-bailable," Guevarra said
