De Lima was arrested in 2017, months after she had launched a senate inquiry into Duterte’s brutal anti-drugs crackdown, which is the subject of an investigation by the international criminal court.
The most prominent critic of the former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s so-called “war on drugs” has been granted bail, after more than six years in jail on what rights groups condemned as trumped-up charges.
Leila de Lima, 64, a former senator and human rights commissioner, emerged from court on Monday to cheers from supporters, who chanted “Justice” and “Leila will soon be free”.
Surrounded by crowds of media and police escorts, she said: “For years, my whole being has been crying out for justice and freedom … For more than six long years I’ve been praying, praying so hard for this day to come.”
De Lima was arrested in 2017, months after she had launched a senate inquiry into Duterte’s brutal anti-drugs crackdown, which is the subject of an investigation by the international criminal court.
Duterte had accused her of receiving payoffs from drugs gangs while she was justice minister, and she faced three drug-related charges, two of which have been dismissed. She has always denied any wrongdoing.
On Monday, she was granted bail in the final pending case, which she had sought on health grounds.
UN human rights experts, as well the European parliament, have long called for her release, and witnesses who testified against her have recanted their statements.
De Lima has said the charges were an act of revenge by Duterte, who she described at the time of her arrest as “a murderer and a sociopathic serial killer”.
She had long criticised his governance. In her former role as chair of the national Commission on Human Rights, De Lima had sought to expose killings by so-called “death squads” in Davao City, where Duterte was mayor for more than two decades.
De Lima was considered the most prominent political prisoner under his administration. In prison she continued her work as a senator, issuing handwritten statements from detention, often condemning Duterte’s governance. She was unable to campaign in the 2022 election, however, and lost an attempt to run again for a senate position.
On Monday, De Lima thanked her legal team, as well as the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, Duterte’s successor. His administration had, she said, respected “the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law”.
Marcos has previously said he would not cooperate with an ICC investigation into the drugs war killings.
Between 12,000 and 30,000 civilians are estimated to have been killed in connection with anti-drugs operations from July 2016 to March 2019, according to data cited by the ICC.
Government data estimates are lower, and say at least 6,252 people were killed in police operations between July 2016, and May 2022. Police have said any killings were only in self-defence.

An object should have value, depth, and meaning. It should have the power to awaken your senses, provoke thought and ignite your passions.
Here’s to the scent of an old soul.

Places we went to Davao (in no particular order):
People's Park
Eden Nature Park
Samal Island (Coral Garden, Pearl Farm, Dayang Beach, Wishing Island)
Roxas Night Market
The City is quite big compared to Cebu. It feels like home because at times I forget that I'm not in Cebu City. If I were to move out of Cebu City, I'm considering Davao City.

Toyozu Mountain Resort in Nabunturan, Davao de Oro
This Japanese-themed resort is famous for its private and public pools with therapeutic and tolerable hot water. There is also a man-made cave that serves as sauna for people who likes to steam bath. Some benefits according to my research are: Easing Pain, Reducing Stress Levels, Skin Problems and Asthma. Please avoid drinking alcohol before or during sauna.
Overnight stay is not a problem for people who wishes to stay longer. You can also avail their private jacuzzi with cottage for an affordable price!
How to get there?
Private Car - you can search in google map "Toyozu Spring Resort"
Commuters - from Davao Ecoland Bus Terminal ride a bus going to Nabunturan Public Terminal which only costs 120Php-250Php and it only takes 2hr ride.

PAWD Speaking Engagement
I received an unexpected call from Ms. Rodora Gamboa, the former General Manager of Davao City Water District and the current Executive Director of the Maynilad Water Academy, back in January (2024). She asked me if was willing to be a resource speaker at the Philippine Association of Water Districts' (PAWD's) 45th National Convention at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City in February (2024).
I was surprised to be getting that call, I responded to her question by asking how she got my number. She told me one of the Deputy Administrators in our office recommended me to be a resource speaker and gave her my number...
I was really hesitant to accept this speaking engagement because I was scared. I've never spoken in a convention before and I've never spoke in from of more than 100 people... Nevertheless, regardless of how I felt, the official invitation was sent to the office and my bosses asked me to do it. I really didn't have a choice. Haha.
So, PAWD flew me to Davao City. I gave a 15-minute talk on Well Construction and Groundwater Monitoring... and it went well, I think. Some Water Districts came to me and told be they'll be inviting me to teach them and train them on groundwater and wells. Those invites are indicators that I was able to capture their interest and they're want to learn more about what the subject... Thank you GOD!
