'THE rule of law has prevailed ... It just means that democracy is working,' Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin 'Boying' Remulla thus declared following last Friday's acquittal of former senator Leila de Lima on the second of three drug cases for which she has been detained for more than six years.

'It just points out to us that the independence of the judiciary is a basic foundation of our democratic system,' Remulla added. 'It's good. It's good for us. It just proves that things are working in our country.'
