Former Vice President Leni Robredo cheered the court’s decision to grant former Senator Leila de Lima’s bail after more than 6 years in detention.

“Matagal nating hinintay ang araw na ito, sa pananalig na ang tama at totoo ang palaging mananaig,” Robredo said in a Facebook post.

“Pinatutunayang muli ngayon na walang basehan ang mga paratang laban kay Senator Leila. Ang lahat ng mga paninira at panggigipit na naranasan niya sa loob ng halos pitong taon ay bunga ng kaniyang pangangahas na tumindig para sa tama—para sa ating mga kababayan,” she added.

Robredo noted that de Lima became a source of inspiration for the Filipinos as her courage and faith lent the public resolve in fighting and speaking truth to power.

“Through all these years, Sen. Leila has been a source of inspiration for us. Her courage and her faith lent so many of us the resolve to continue fighting the good fight, to speak truth to power, and to keep believing that the Filipino people deserve so much more,” Robredo said.

“Masaya ako na sa wakas ay namayani ang hustisya at makakapiling na natin nang malaya si Sen Leila. Tagumpay ito hindi lang para sa kaniya, kundi para sa ating bayan,” she added.

In a Reuters report, de Lima’s legal counsel Filibon Tacardon said the former will hopefully be released today.
