The Sandiganbayan on Thursday deferred proceedings in an ill-gotten wealth case filed against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and his family in 1987.
"Admittedly, defendant Marcos, Jr. et. al. did not attend the hearing dated 13 August 2019 set for the presentation of defendants' evidence. However, in the higher interest of substantial justice, and, considering the nature of the case where defendants stand to lose their properties, the Court denies the instant motion and hereby gives the defendants another chance to present their evidence in support of their defense," the Sandiganbayan said.
