De Lima landed at the Bicol International Airport (BIA) in Daraga, this province, at around 4:20 p.m. and was greeted by family and relatives.
Five cars loaded with relatives, friends, and "kababayans" traveled from Iriga to Daraga to personally welcome her.

De Lima proceeded to the room of her mother, who only knows that she was in the United States to study, and handed her a dollar bill as “gift.”
The former Justice Secretary said that she will enjoy her stay home.
