Bong Revilla asks for medical leave to undergo dental procedure

Former senator and actor Bong Revilla, who is detained due to a plunder case over an alleged misuse of pork barrel funds, has sought for the permission of the Sandiganbayan to be allowed to undergo dental implant at a clinic in Makati City.

In the motion he filed on July 1, Bong requested to undergo the procedure on July 13, 16, and 23.

Last April, the Sandiganbayan allowed Bong to undergo a CT scan for his teeth, as well as other dental procedures. He was advised to undergo dental implant for an extracted tooth to prevent complications.
