Bong Revilla maintained his innocence from the flood control corruption accusations hurled against him
. He also claimed that there is seemingly a lack of due process in the recent turn of events.
Separate plunder charges were filed against Revilla as well as Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and the Department of Justice previously confirmed that subpoena is set to be released against them. The Ombudsman filed graft and malversation charges against the former Senator.
“There will be no special treatment. Wala talaga, kahit puntahan niyo ngayon, walang airconditioning system doon,”
the DILG Chief said.
Furthermore, DILG Sec. Jonvic Remulla also stressed that former Sen. Bong Revilla was found to be in a “very good health condition”. According to the Interior Secretary, the former Senator is 59 years old now and he is as healthy as a 59-year-old could be and “even healthier”.
