Sandiganbayan allows ex-Sen. Revilla to visit ailing father

MANILA, Dec. 29 (PNA) — The Sandiganbayan on Thursday allowed detained former Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr. to visit his ailing father in St. Lukes Global in Taguig City.

The detained former senator earlier asked the Sandiganbayan for a furlough as his father Ramon Revilla, Sr. was hospitalized again.

The elder Revilla was hospitalized over a kidney inflammation and a “tracheo-esophageal fistula.”

The Sandiganbayan allowed the younger Revilla to visit his father on Dec. 29 and 31, 2016 and Jan. 1, 2017. (PNA)
