Contrary to the claims made by Senator Leila de Lima, high-profile convicted inmates of the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) assured that they were not forced into testifying against her.
“My clients have neither been threatened, cajoled, tortured nor intimidated, nor have they been subjected to torture, either physical or psychological,” read a statement from lawyer Ferdinand Topacio.

Topacio is the counsel of high-profile Bilibid inmates Herbert “Ampang” Colanggo, Noel Martinez, German Agojo, Joel Capones and Jerry Pepino.
The lawyer reacted to the privilege speech made by de Lima who said the inmates were coerced into making the testimonies against her.
