No VIP treatment for ex-DPWH chief while under close monitoring – PNP

The Philippine National Police emphasized that former Public Works and Highways secretary Manuel Bonoan will not receive special VIP treatment despite his current hospital stay at the PNP's facility in Quezon City. This follows his arrest alongside Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and three other DPWH officials by the Sandiganbayan. The move underscores the PNP's commitment to maintaining equal treatment for all individuals under its care, regardless of their former positions. This decision is crucial as it highlights the principle of justice over privilege, reinforcing the idea that no one is above the law.
