It’s final: Revilla can’t post bail

The Sandiganbayan stood pat on its decision denying Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla’s petition to post bail on the P224-million plunder complaint filed against him in connection with the misuse of his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel.

In its ruling, the anti-graft court’s First Division also denied the bail petitions of Revilla’s aide Richard Cambe and businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles. It noted that there is no reason to reverse its earlier decision rejecting the petitions of the accused.
