Sandiganbayan Denies Revilla's Plea to Inhibit Presiding Justice

The Sandiganbayan, the Philippines' anti-graft court, has denied a motion for inhibition filed by former Senator Bong Revilla, which sought the recusal of the presiding justice. The court ruled that the grounds cited by Revilla, including a familial relationship between the judge and the lawyer of a witness in the case, did not constitute sufficient evidence of bias or partiality.
