Detained senator Leila De Lima believes that justice will be served no matter how late following the decision of star witness and former Bureau of Corrections Chief Rafael Ragos to recant his testimony against De Lima.
“Mahigit 5 taon na akong ipinakulong at naghihintay sa pagkakataong ito. Mahigit 5 taon ng inhustisya. Sa kabila nito, nagpapasalamat ako sa lalong pagtibay at paglabas ng katotohanan na ako ay inosente, at kung sino ang mga nagsabwatan para ako’y siraan, gipitin at patahimikin,” De Lima said in a tweet.
The former Justice Secretary added that she hopes more witnesses will follow Ragos and Kerwin Espinosa in withdrawing their accusations against her alleged involvement in the illegal drug trade.

“Five years too late but still appreciated. Sana makonsensya na rin lahat ng nasangkot sa gawa-gawang kaso laban sa akin. Patuloy po ang laban natin para sa katotohanan at hustisya,” she said in a tweet.
“It appears, after all, that justice will still be served, no matter how late. Five years too late. But indeed, Truth often bides its time. It patiently waits and is never vanquished,” De Lima added.
Ragos revealed in an affidavit that he was forced and coerced to testify against De Lima.
