00:00The Office of the Ombudsman files an appeal to ask the Sandigan Bayan 3rd Division to reconsider its decision on
00:06former Senator Bong Revilla's bail.
00:09The 3rd Division granted Revilla's petition allowing him to avail of temporary liberty.
00:13The Ombudsman argues Revilla is part of the conspiracy to commit malversation of public funds through falsification of public documents.
00:20It adds the evidence, when taken as a whole, established Revilla's presumptive guilt.
00:24This is also the point of 3rd Division Chairperson Associate Justice Carl Miranda, who dissented on the grant of bail.
00:30The Ombudsman adds, in the present case, accused Revilla's participation in the criminal design was not inconsequential nor peripheral.
00:37On the contrary, he was the leading link who set in motion the criminal chain.
00:42Revilla is allegedly at the center of the case involving a 92.8 million peso Bulacan flood control project because
00:48he acted as proponent for the public works contract.
