01:23 For years, for years, my whole being has been crying out for justice and freedom.
01:36 For more than six long years, I've been praying, praying so hard for this day to come.
01:45 Sir, you are granted bail? Sir, what do you say? Sir, what do you say?
01:51 The supporters of DELIMA voiced their support for the decision.
01:55 Laila is free! Justice is won!
02:00 DELIMA's camp is looking at this as the beginning of the former senator's complete disqualification.
02:06 Because of the granting of the bail, which is technically a resolution or an evaluation of the evidence of the deal this week,
02:15 eventually this will be released.
02:19 From the court, DELIMA returned to the PNP Custodial Center for a physical and medical examination while waiting for his release order.
02:28 From Krame, DELIMA went straight to a hotel for a press conference.
02:33 On the other side of the court, he did not regret anything.
02:37 No regrets. Yes, I wish things turned out differently, but these are things that were beyond my control.
02:45 They may have taken years of my life, but they will never take my humanity.
02:50 The world is full of people who are self-centered and selfish in the face of the oppression of the people.
02:59 I will never be one of them.
03:02 In August 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte accused DELIMA of accepting campaign funds from drugs.
03:10 DELIMA is one of the critics of the former president.
03:14 I will have to destroy her in public.
03:16 DELIMA, you are finished.
03:20 In February 2017, DELIMA was charged with three separate cases related to illegal drugs.
03:26 The former Bureau of Corrections, or IC Rafael Ragos, served as a state witness.
03:32 But in April 2022, Ragos returned to his testimony.
03:37 He was just forced to go to Secretary Vitalyano Aguirre, who testified against DELIMA.
03:43 In February 2021, DELIMA was charged with one of his cases.
03:47 He was charged with the second case of this May, the last case where he was allowed to pay bail.
03:53 He was charged with the possession of a large amount of drugs in the maximum security compound of the Philippines.

04:03 The court's decision to allow former Senator Laila DELIMA to pay bail was met with mixed reactions.
04:11 Senator Bato de la Rosa, a former ally of former President Duterte,
04:16 is wondering why the case seemed to be weak after Duterte's term.
04:20 The former president has yet to react to the court's decision.
04:24 Former presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said that the government can still appeal the bail of DELIMA.
04:32 Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said that the court's decision to allow democracy to exist in the country should be approved.
04:39 In a tweet, US Ambassador Mary Kay Carlson said that they are continuing to monitor DELIMA's case until it is resolved.
04:47 European Union Ambassador Luke Veron said that it is a "messy step" for the rule of law in the Philippines to allow DELIMA to pay bail.
04:57 The European Union is one of those who called for the release of the former senator.
05:04 The suspects filed a complaint of kidnapping and serious illegal detention
05:09 after the disappearance of beauty pageant contestant Catherine Camilon.
05:13 Police Major Allan De Castro, his personal driver and bodyguard Jason Magpantay, and two other unknown suspects were also there.
05:22 According to the CIDG, De Castro is the so-called "relationship" of Camilon.
05:27 He is also the one who will find Camilon before he disappears.
05:33 De Castro is now held by the Southern Tagalog Police while his driver and bodyguard Jason Magpantay are still being searched.
05:41 Magpantay is also the one who was accused of pointing a gun at two witnesses who were seen transferring a bloodied head in a red SUV.
05:51 The CIDG also investigated who registered the SUV that was recovered this Friday in Batangas and was now being held for Camilon's disappearance.
06:01 A strand of hair and a bloodstain was also found in the vehicle.
06:06 The forensic exam results are still being waited for.
06:09 The suspects are still trying to get the evidence.
06:12 Meanwhile, the CIDG is still hoping that Camilon is still alive, so they still consider him missing.

06:35 It is said that they were caught by the police after they left Gaza.
06:39 DFA Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega was also there to witness the repatriation effort of the embassy.
06:45 The Jordan Embassy is still asking for the 26 Filipinos who left Gaza to be evacuated.
06:52 It was already past 3 p.m. when the Filipino hotel workers and caregivers from Israel arrived in the country.

08:17 For Metro Manila's commuters who are in the middle of traffic, your Calvario may be able to help you with this commute.
08:27 Aside from avoiding traffic and saving on travel, there is a scenic view to see.
08:32 Watch the report of Vauna Kino.
08:38 Commute with a view?
08:39 That's the answer to the Pasig River Ferry Service, which is still free until now.
08:43 Virgilio is saving P80 to P100 from Pasig to Divisoria when he rides the ferry.
08:49 It's more convenient, it avoids traffic, it's easier.
08:53 You can save a lot, P80 for a one-way ride if you travel in an ordinary jeep.
08:59 Carl is a college student. He's saving P50 for a one-way ride.
09:04 His ferry ride from San Joaquin Station in Pasig City to Quinta Station in Manila is one hour and 15 minutes.
09:12 But if he's traveling by land, it will take him two hours depending on the traffic.
09:16 This is a huge help.
09:19 Especially when it's free and the fresh air.
09:23 It's not like when you're on land because it's smoky and there's traffic.
09:29 It was an educational trip for Ernesto and his 8-year-old son, Matthew Angelo,
09:35 to ride the ferry for the first time.
09:37 It's nice and big. My son saw it already.
09:40 I saw the birds here.
09:42 And the view of the river.
09:45 Is it nice?
09:46 Yes.
09:47 You can also see different historical structures like the post office and Jones Bridge.
09:52 There are also murals in the riverbanks.
