JV SPEAKS ON SUSPENSION ORDER: Senator Joseph Victor (JV) Ejercito says he respects the decision of the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division to suspend him for 90 days in connection with a case filed against him involving allegedly anomalous purchase of firearms when he was mayor of the City of San Juan in 2008. In a press conference at the Senate on Tuesday, August 23, 2016, Ejercito said that while he was saddened by the decision, he was bound by duty and responsibility to protect the well-being of the city residents. “I am fighting this legal battle without delay as I know I did the right thing, and that justice in the end will be on my side,” he said.
