Sen. Leila de Lima has been granted a one-day medical furlough to undergo a CT (computed tomography) scan of an apparent “mass” on her liver. Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Judge Amelia Fabros-Corpuz on March 6 granted the “very urgent motion for medical furlough” filed on February 22 by de Lima’s lawyers. “Finding the very urgent motion for medical furlough to be meritorious, the same is hereby granted on a one day medical furlough,” Corpuz said in her decision. De Lima will have her CT scan at the Philippine Heart Center because the PNP General Hospital has no available CT scan machine to further examine a mass that was detected in her liver. She is detained at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center on drug charges.
