PH gov’t to provide legal assistance to Filipina arrested in Kota Kinabalu for drug trafficking 0 SHARES Share it! “The government will provide her with free legal assistance to protect her rights as she is a Filipino citizen. She could be an innocent courier and not a drug pusher or drug trafficker,” Panelo said in a statement. “If she is found guilty unfairly by the Malaysian court we can avail of legal remedies available under the Malaysian legal system to exonerate her. But if evidence proves that she is deeply involved in drug trafficking, then we will let the law take its course,” he added.
