TV host/comedian Vhong Navarro has been granted by the Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 69 to post bail worth P1 million in connection with the rape case filed by former model Deniece Cornejo.
In order dated December 5, 2022, Presiding Judge Loralie Cruz Dataman allowed Navarro to post P1 million bail for his temporary liberty.
“Wherefore, premises considered, the petition for bail is hereby GRANTED. The bail of the accused for his provisional liberty is hereby fixed at One Million Pesos (Php 1,000,000.00),” the order read.
On November 21, Navarro was transferred to the Taguig City Jail from the National Bureau of Investigation facility in compliance with the November 7 order of the court.
In September, Taguig prosecutors filed a case against Navarro over the alleged rape of Cornejo through “force, threat, and intimidation” in January 2014.
Navarro has denied the allegations against him.
