MANILA — Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla denied the reports that he was apprehended in the EDSA Carousel Bus Lane on Wednesday.
Revilla explained that he does not pass EDSA-Mandaluyong City going to Senate as he lives in the South.
“There is absolutely no truth to the malicious report that I was apprehended using the EDSA carousel busway,” the senator said.
“My daily commute is from the south to the Senate and there is no possibility I will be on EDSA in Mandaluyong. When attending official functions in the north, I take the skyway from and back to the south,” he furthered.
The lawmaker said that he would ask the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to explain why his name was “being dragged and smeared.”
Meanwhile, MMDA Special Operations Unit Bong Nebrija confirmed that the car apprehended was convoy of Revilla.
According to the official, when they saw one of the drivers of the vehicles belonging to the convoy, they said that the senator was on board and he rolled down the window of the vehicle.
