Gov't prosecutors block Sen. Revilla’s motion to have medical check-up at St. Luke’s Medical Center

Government prosecutors blocked on Wednesday Senator Ramon Revilla Jr.’s motion to spend an overnight medical check-up at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Taguig City, saying he can have his medical tests as an out-patient.

“In fact, these tests can be done by the accused as an out-patient. Thus, there is no need for the accused to stay overnight in the hospital, outside his place of detention,” the prosecutors said in their motion before the Sandiganbayan First Division.
