Prosecutors: Court made serious error in granting Revilla bail in Bulacan case

newsinfo.inquirer.net

Prosecutors filed a motion for reconsideration Wednesday, calling the Sandiganbayan's decision to grant former senator Bong Revilla bail a "serious error" in a malversation case. The 2-1 Third Division vote on July 31, 2026, allowed Revilla to post P1 million bail. He faces charges over P76.9 million in illegal disbursements from a P92.8 million flood control project in Pandi, Bulacan, allegedly receiving a 25% cut. Prosecutors argued evidence shows Revilla actively participated in the conspiracy and rejected the ruling's view that his alleged kickbacks were not public funds. Justice Karl Miranda dissented.
