The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday issued an immigration lookout bulletin order (ILBO) against Senator Leila De Lima and five others who are allegedly involved in the proliferation of illegal drugs inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) in Muntinlupa City. Through a lookout order, De Lima’s flights and travel itineraries will be monitored. She is free to travel but she will have to ask permission from the DOJ. Aguirre said de Lima and the five others should be prevented from leaving the country if they do not have travel authority from their heads of offices. Aguirre said the lookout bulletin was issued upon the recommendation of the National Bureau of Investigation, which is currently building up a case against the senator and several others for their alleged role in the illegal drugs trade in the NBP.
