Enrile recommended for transfer to better hospital; Revilla stays in Crame

Doctors from a government hospital who were called to testify in the plunder trial of Senate Minor Leader Juan Ponce Enrile recommended that he be transferred to a tertiary hospital, from the police hospital where he is currently detained. Saying Enrile’s heart is becoming weak, with a high probability of contracting a coronary disease, doctors from Philippine General Hospital said the 90-year-old senator should be transferred to either the PGH or the Philippine Heart Center. Meanwhile, another division of the anti-graft court trying the pork barrel scam cases, ruled against transferring Senator Ramon Revilla Jr to a regular jail, saying the prosecution has not presented enough arguments that would warrant removing him from the special detention center at the police central camp.
