“‘Yung request for an air cooler will have to be addressed to the court,” Philippine National Police spokesman Chief Supt. Reuben Theodore Sindac told reporters on Sunday.
“Hopefully, they (Revilla camp) will be able to manifest this to the court as soon as possible,” he said.
Revilla’s case has been referred to the Fifth Division of the Sandiganbayan.
The senator has been detained at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center since he surrendered at the Sandiganbayan on Friday.
The anti-graft court issued a warrant of arrest against the senator last Friday for graft and plunder charges in connection to the P10-billion pork barrel scam.
Revilla has denied the charges against him and has said they are meant to remove obstacles to the administration Liberal Party’s presidential campaign in 2016.
Revilla is chairman of the minority Lakas party.
On Friday, Revilla’s wife, Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla, lamented that the senator was suffering from a heat-induced headache. — Rouchelle Dinglasan/JDS, GMA News
