Revilla says he will surrender

MANILA - The camp of Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. on Thursday said the senator will surrender to the Sandiganbayan after the anti-graft court found probable cause in the graft and plunder charges against him. The Sandiganbayan clerk of court said Revilla sent word that he will be going to the anti-graft to surrender, an ANC report said. Lawer Joel Bodegon said he had not been informed if a warrant of arrest has been issued for Revilla. "If he surrenders, he will be detained. The next move for him is to file petition for bail. We will file it tomorrow morning," he said. ANC, June 19, 2014
