"Parang I cannot help but compare yung sitwasyon ngayon ni dating Pangulong Duterte at yung sitwasyon ni Senator Leila before. Alam natin kung ano yung pinagdaanan niya.

She was incarcerated for almost seven years on trumped up charges.

Hindi niya kinwestiyon ang due process. She had to go through everything.

Kahit mali yung mga paratang sa kanya, lahat na iyon hinarap, and in the end she was proven correct na talagang wala nga siyang kasalanan kaya nga siya nakalabas.

Nakita ko yung sitwasyon niya na malayo sa sitwasyon ngayon..."

The former president then described the kind of room that the former senator was in.

"Yung kay senator Leila De Lima, yung kwarto niya, sobrang liit na sobrang init, walang air condition,may electric fan lang siya. Pero she did not have access to a computer, senator siya noon, sinusulat niya lahat.

Yung nagtatrabaho siya as senator pero wala siyang access sa computer, sa telepono, wala siyang access sa internet. Nabigyan lang siya ng Karapatan na pwede siyang manood ng movies. After a long time.
