President Rodrigo Duterte will not hinder or object any move from detained Senator Leila De Lima to visit her critically-ill mother according to Senator Bong Go.
“President Rodrigo Duterte said he will have no objection if the courts allow Sen. Leila de Lima to see her mother,” Go said in a statement.
De Lima’s legal counsel Raymond Baguilat revealed that her mother is in critical condition in Iriga City.
De Lima filed her furlough request last Friday.
“My 86-year-old mom’s health is now failing her. She’s confined in a hospital in Iriga for several days already. Our family is now advised to prepare for the inevitable. I ask for prayers. Maraming salamat po,” De Lima said.
Muntinlupa Branch 205 has yet to decide on De Lima’s furlough request.
The senator has been detained at Camp Crame since 2017 due to drug-related charges.
