Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago has been discharged from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon, a News To Go report said on Wednesday.

Santiago was confined at the Makati Medical Center since May 30 for pneumonia due to complications of lung cancer.

She was admitted to the intensive care unit but was transferred to a regular private room on June 2.

Santiago ran in the May 9 presidential elections but lost to Rodrigo Duterte.

Her term as senator ends on June 30. —KG, GMA News
