It was in 2017 when the senator was arrested for her alleged link on the drug trade at the New Bilibid Prison during her term as the secretary of the Department of Justice (DOJ).

She has been detained at Camp Crame for five years already.

In a sideline interview, Sharon Cuneta expressed her support to the senator who is now spending her fifth year in detention.

The actress-singer is hoping that De Lima, who is running for senator, will be freed.

“We really miss you out here. We need you more out here. You can do so much more out here. And we keep praying that you be allowed out soon or that you are out, somehow by God’s grace and never-ending mercy,” she said.

De Lima has yet to respond to Sharon’s message.

Meanwhile, Leila Norma Eulalia Josefa Magistrado de Lima, a politician, lawyer, human rights activist, and law professor is currently serving as senator of the Philippines since 2016.

Previously, she held the positions of Chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights from May 2008 to June 2010, and as the Secretary of Justice from 2010 to 2015 under the administration of late president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.

In 2017, she was arrested for her alleged link on the drug trade at the New Bilibid Prison during her term as the Justice secretary.

Presently, she is running for the senate again under the slate of presidential candidate, Vice President Leni Robredo.
