MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): Opposition Sen Leila de Lima on Wednesday (Feb 17) won one of the three drug cases filed against her by the Duterte administration in connection with alleged involvement in a conspiracy to promote drug trade at New Bilibid Prisons (NBP).

She said acquittal even in one case under Duterte was already a victory.
