'More than the wastage of public funds, what is really involved in this case is the betrayal by accused Revilla and his co-accused of the trust reposed on them as public officers,' the prosecutors say
The Sandiganbayan 3rd Division recently granted former senator Bong Revilla’s petition for bail, allowing him to avail of temporary liberty.
This means Revilla is out of Bureau of Jail Management and Penology detention, while his malversation and graft cases are pending with the anti-graft court. Revilla is already out on bail for his graft; the latest resolution was for the malversation case.
But the prosecutors from the Office of the Ombudsman are not giving up the fight.
They filed an appeal on Wednesday, August 5, to ask the 3rd Division to reconsider its resolution on Revilla’s bail.
