Former Senator Bong Revilla on Wednesday personally filed his counter-affidavit with the Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with his alleged involvement in anomalous flood control projects in Bulacan.
Speaking to justice beat reporters, lawyer Francesca Señga, Revilla’s spokesperson, said they remain hopeful that the DOJ will view the case with fairness and ultimately decide that there is no basis to elevate the complaint to court.
“Mr. Bong Revilla came here to file his response to the complaint filed against him for alleged violation of Republic Act No. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. There are no other complaints against Mr. Revilla at the DOJ at this time,” Señga said.
She added that along with his counter-affidavit, Revilla submitted evidence to prove that the allegations and accusations against him are false.
She insisted that he has no role in the supposed ghost projects and that the accusations are “nothing but lies.”
Señga said they will let the legal process take its course, confident that the complaint will be dismissed.
Revilla, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, earlier said he is being unfairly targeted and used “to muddle the truth,” asserting that “the truth will never be covered up.”
