Former Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. was committed to the Quezon City Jail–Male Dormitory in Barangay Payatas on Tuesday afternoon, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) confirmed.

In a statement, the DILG, through the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), said Revilla was transferred to BJMP custody at around 2:28 p.m. by virtue of a Commitment Order issued by the Sandiganbayan Third Division.

The commitment order directed Revilla’s transfer to the Quezon City jail following the anti-graft court’s earlier actions in connection with the case filed against him.

The DILG and the BJMP assured the public that Revilla is being treated in the same manner as all other persons deprived of liberty.

“The DILG and the BJMP assure the public that Revilla is being accorded the same treatment, security measures, and jail management protocols as all other persons deprived of liberty, in strict adherence to existing laws, rules, and regulations,” the statement read.

The agencies reiterated their commitment to transparency and professionalism in carrying out court orders and managing detention facilities nationwide.
