House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Fredenil Castro said Sen. Leila De Lima should be brought to an ordinary jail on February 19.
The HOR deputy speaker said it is in accordance with the law.
"Sa ating batas, hindi dapat bigyan ng special treatment. Bilang abogado, at kung ilalagay ko ang sarli ko bilang isang husgado, kung susundin mo lang ang batas natin, kailangan sa kulungan lahat ng nakakulong," he emphasized.
Castro also said the court may also decide to order De Lima to be detained in a special jail because of her position in the government and if her camp can prove she is a responsible person and will not attempt to escape.
On the other hand, Castro added the Department of Justice shouldn't be surprised if one of the quarters will be filled by the lady senator because of the illegal drug charges against her.

"Alam mo sa kasong ito, prima facie case lang ang kailangan para maisampa ito sa husgado. Hindi na dapat ikagulat ng taumbayan na siya ay nasampahan ng kaso," he said.
