After turning himself in to the Sandiganbayan on plunder and graft charges connected to the P10-billion pork barrel scam, Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. boarded a vehicle and left the anti-graft court compound in Quezon City after noon Friday.
The convoy of more than 10 vehicles bearing Revilla, his family and friends is expected to bring the senator to the Philippine National Police headquarters in Camp Crame, radio dzBB’s Glen Juego reported.
Revilla waved to supporters before boarding the vehicle and leaving the Sandiganbayan, dzBB’s Nimfa Ravelo reported.
Soon after turning himself in, Revilla filed a motion for bail and asked that he be detained at Camp Crame should the petition for bail be denied. The court granted his motion to be detained at Camp Crame. — Joel Locsin/RSJ, GMA News
