00:00Between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. last night, former Senator Bong Revilla arrived at Camp Crame.
00:07He personally surrendered to authorities after the Sandigan Bayan 3rd Division issued a warrant of arrest against him
00:13for the case of malversation of public funds through falsification of public documents.
00:19Upon arrival at the CIDG, Revilla underwent standard booking procedures just like an ordinary detainee.
00:25His fingerprints and mugshot were taken, but unlike in ordinary arrests, the PNP did not release any photos.
00:32He also underwent a medical examination to check his physical condition.
00:36He was treated the same.
00:40But alam naman po ni Luke, Senator Bong, na we have observed the police operational procedure.
00:47He was found to be in good physical shape and capable of undergoing trial.
00:52Along with his voluntary surrender, Revilla also turned over his firearms.
00:57The former Senator is no longer entitled to possess any firearm due to his current and pending cases.
01:03Since he will be detained, he will no longer be able to be in possession of those firearms.
01:11Kung hindi niya surrender kasi yan, endanger siya sa mga raids sa loose firearms.
01:17Kasi ang re-registration personal yan, hindi niya rin magagawa yan.
01:21So it's better na i-surrender niya na yung mga fares niya.
01:24The DILG assured, no special treatment will be given to Revilla.
01:29Ang anak niya ay naging vice-governor ko.
01:32Ang anak niya ngayon ay vice-governor ng pamaking ko.
01:35We've been lifelong friends ever since the 1980s.
01:40Matagal na kami mag-aibigan.
01:42But duty calls, there are no exceptions to the rule.
01:45Ang pag-sinabi ng sandigan to arrest him, I advise him to...
01:49Ang best ko na na magawa is advise him to surrender peacefully.
01:54However, his safety inside the jail is assured.
01:57Kini-consider talaga namin yung gang violence.
02:00Kasi iisipin niyo rin yung mga nakakulong doon, di ba?
02:05General population na yun eh.
02:08So we will take all precautions necessary to ensure his safety during the process of his trial.
02:16After the press conference, Rimulya himself escorted Revilla to the Sandigan Bayan.
02:21One of the detention facilities recommended by the CIDG is the New Quezon City Jail in Payatas.
02:27The PNP custodial center meanwhile can no longer be used for detention purposes because the building is up for demolition.
02:35The building is very old at maglalagay kasi may budget ng PNP na magtayo ng bagong headquarters na hindi na kasi kasha dito.
02:46So magtatayo ng bagong building at doon ang proposed site ng bagong building nila.
02:51In 2014, Rivilla was jailed for plunder and craft over the alleged receipt of P224.5 million pesos in kickbacks from the fake PDAF projects.
