QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – For the longest time, Kabataan Partylist Representative Raoul Manuel never got an answer to a question he raised during a Congressional hearing on whether the Philippines has already reclaimed sabá (Sabah).

Yesterday, Manuel’s question was answered with the release of former Senator Leila de Lima, a.k.a. “Sabá.”
