Unable to attend a single day of session, detained Sen. Leila de Lima said on Friday she was able to fulfill her work just the same, boasting of filing 22 bills while in jail in Camp Crame in Quezon City.

“I never allowed the political persecution I am suffering to prevent me from fulfilling my electoral mandate,” she said in a statement. —DJ Yap
