Today, Oct. 19, TV host and comedian Ferdinand “Vhong” Navarro is now one month in detention for the rape case filed by model Deniece Cornejo.
Navarro was charged in a Taguig court in August for allegedly raping Cornejo in her condominium in the city on Jan. 17, 2014.
During his arraignment on Oct. 11, his lawyer, Alma Mallonga, said Navarro’s “emotional state is not as good as we wanted it to be. But I am happy to say that he remains strong, he is doing his best to remain positive and the fighting spirit is actually there. Walang iwanan, laban lang.” The two cases were filed based on the order of the Court of Appeals in a decision promulgated last July 21, which granted Cornejo’s petition for review of her complaints.
In 2014 and 2015, according to the CA decision, Cornejo filed three complaints of rape and attempted rape against Navarro before the Taguig prosecutor’s office. The Taguig RTC Branch 69 allowed Navarro to appear at his arraignment on Oct. 11 via videoconferencing due to the threat of Covid-19.
