MANILA — Former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said Tuesday that ex-president Rodrigo Duterte does not need to react on the court’s decision, allowing the Leila De Lima to post bail.
Roque, presidential spokesperson of Duterte before, said that the former president was not involved about drug case De Lima.
“Hindi pa po kasi sa mula’t mula, wala naman pong pakialam dito si Presidente Duterte, hindi po nagsampa ng kaso si Presidente Duterte, hindi po siya nag-utos na sampahan ng kaso si Leila de Lima. Sa totoo lang po, ang unang-unang lumabas na testigo ay sariling tao ni Leila de Lima na si dating deputy director ng NBI Ragos,” he said.
“Hindi naman na po kinakailangang magsalita ang dating Presidente Duterte dahil wala naman talaga siyang pakialam at wala po siyang kahit anong ginawa para umusad itong mga kaso ni Leila de Lima,” Roque furthered.
After completing the bail processes and undergoing a physical examination, the ex-senator was released from the Philippine National Police (PNP) Custodial Center in Camp Crame, Quezon City on Monday night.
De Lima said that she will be restoring her normal life “very soon” after the court granted her bail and walked out of six-year detention.
