MANILA, Philippines — A coaccused of former party list Rep. Zaldy Co in a malversation case before the Sandiganbayan’s Sixth Division filed an urgent motion seeking hospital arrest on Thursday.
Juliet Calvo, the former maintenance division chief of the Department of Public Works and Highways in Region IV-B, suffered a stroke on Aug. 5, her lawyer Edwin Labro told the court.
Quoting the findings of Calvo’s doctor in a private hospital, Labro said that she was left paralyzed and “unable to communicate” although her condition is “stable and critical.”
Prosecutors did not object to the motion of Calvo who, together with Co and several others, face a nonbailable charge for malversation of public funds through falsification of public documents over alleged irregularities in a government infrastructure project.
