Senator Risa Hontiveros backed the plan of former Senator Leila de Lima to file counter lawsuits against former President Rodrigo Duterte and his allies, who persecuted her during their administration by fabricating drug related charges, among other malicious accusations.
As one of the most high-profile detainees of this campaign, the former senator has fought for the rights and justice of other victims affected by Duterte’s policies. “I am doing this for justice and vindication, not to seek revenge. It is not a matter of vengefulness. It is my right to seek justice for the wrong they committed against me,” De Lima asserted. As a former Justice Secretary herself, she is acutely aware of the legal and moral implications of her battle.
