The camp of detained TV host and comedian Ferdinand “Vhong” Navarro is hoping that a court will grant him bail for his provisional liberty amid an order for his transfer to the Taguig City Jail.
The Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 69 is handling the rape case filed by model Deniece Cornejo against Navarro.
The same court had earlier issued a non-bailable warrant of arrest for rape against Navarro on Sept. 19. During the bail hearings, the prosecution, tasked to show the evidence of guilt is strong against Navarro, presented three witnesses including Cornejo and Cedric Lee. Two other witnesses did not show up.
“It is just that the defense filed a motion for reconsideration due to security reasons. This is the reason why the court, during the hearing on motion for reconsideration, called for a representative of Taguig City Jail and asked clarificatory questions on how equipped is their facility to ensure the safety and protection of detainees,” she said.
Navarro urged the court to treat the message “as a real and actual threat which endangers his life and security,” according to the court’s decision dated Sept. 29.
