Bong Revilla denies kickback from pork barrel

Former Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. appeared at the second day of his plunder trial on June 29.

Revilla’s lawyer Ramon Esguerra defended his client against allegation of earning P224.5 million in kickbacks from pork barrel projects.

Esguerra insisted the actor got his wealth from movie and TV shows earnings.

The former senator complained over the slow pace of his trial.

Revilla surrendered in June 2014 and has been detained at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center since then.

The actor-politician failed to attend the first trial last week after being hospitalized due to high creatinine, uric acid, and cholesterol.
