(Eagle News) — Senator Leila de Lima on Friday, Feb. 1, again refused to enter a plea in a drug-related case filed against her in a Muntinlupa court.
This prompted the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 205 to enter a not-guilty plea on her behalf.
De Lima, who is detained in Camp Crame, faces other drug-related cases in other Muntinlupa courts.
She was charged in connection with her alleged involvement in the illegal drug trade in the New Bilibid Prison when she was justice secretary.
