Former Public Works and Highways Secretary Manuel Bonoan, who is facing P573-million plunder and graft charges over flood control anomalies, has been hit with several ailments, the Sandiganbayan learned Thursday.
Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Geraldine Econg, chairperson of the anti-graft court’s Second Division, read the list of Bonoan’s illnesses based on the information provided by the police before the court.
These are diabetes, hypertension, acute coronary syndrome , chronic kidney disease , prostate cancer, and pain in the spine
“Bakit ang dami na? (Why suddenly so many?), ” Econg said.
The Justice then said that the court will ask the Philippine National Police to provide a medical update on Bonoan, who is currently confined at the Medical City in Pasig City.
The graft charge pending before the Second Division accuses Bonoan of having a hand in delivering kickbacks from flood control projects to Senator Jinggoy Estrada. —LDF, GMA News
