Bong Revilla answers DOJ case on Bulacan ghost project
Former Senator "Bong" Revilla appeared before the Department of Justice (DOJ) to submit his counter-affidavit and evidence in response to allegations of graft charges.
The complaint involves alleged violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (RA 3019) concerning a supposed non-existent flood control project in Bulacan.
Revilla's spokesperson, Atty. Francesca Lourdes Señga, stated that the evidence submitted aims to disprove the accusations, asserting they are "absolute lies and nothing but lies."
He was implicated after a former DPWH undersecretary alleged that P125 million was delivered to Revilla's house in December 2024 and another P250 million by his aide before the 2025 elections.
Revilla, who chaired the Senate public works committee, hopes the DOJ will impartially review the evidence and dismiss the complaint, preventing it from reaching the court.
Prosecutor General Anthony Fadullon confirmed that Revilla and former lawmaker Zaldy Co are respondents in the investigation involving SYMS constructions.
