MANILA, Philippines – Senator Bong Revilla joined other senators in supporting Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla after the latter’s son was arrested due to his alleged involvement in the importation of at least P1.3 million worth of kush.
Senators Robin Padilla and JV Ejercito and Sherwin Gatchalian expressed their support for Remulla in separate statements,
“Let us not judge him on the fault of others but on his competence and performance. The sins of the son are not the sins of the father,” Revilla said.
“Kaya’t masakit man bilang isang ama na napariwara ang anak, I believe him when he said he will uphold his oath and the law. Naniniwala ako sa kanya na hindi siya makikialam,” said Revilla.
(Even if it hurts for a father that see his child go astray, I believe him when he said he will uphold his oath and the law. I believe him when he said that he will not interfere in his son’s case.)
Remulla’s son, Juanito Jose Remulla, has been indicted for his alleged possession of kush and prosecutors have recommended no bail.
