Sandiganbayan temporary freedom to former first lady Imelda Marcos as it allowed her to post P150,000 bail on Friday, November 16 as she faces seven cases of graft for creating illegal Swiss foundations during the term of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
In a report by Inquirer.net, the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division allowed Mrs. Marcos to post bail for her provisional liberty while the anti-graft court resolves her motion for leave.

The former first lady, on Monday, filed a motion for leave, citing that she was not able to attend the promulgation hearing last November 9 because of “multiple organ infirmities”.
However, Mrs. Marcos was spotted during her daughter Imee Marcos hours after the promulgation.
The court is yet to make a decision whether the Ilocos Norte representative would be allowed to file a motion for reconsideration on her case.
