Leila de Lima has filed for early retirement. Judge Antonietta Pablo-Medina of the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 276, who presided over the re-raffle of the case, inhibited, saying she was a classmate of de Lima. In February 2018, Judge Patria Manalastas-De Leon of Muntinlupa RTC Branch 206, who was handling case 17-166, filed for early retirement. Last November, Judge Lorna Navarro-Domingo of the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 206 inhibited from case 17-166 after De Lima’s camp filed for a motion for her inhibition.
