Manuel Bonoan, who served as the Secretary of Public Works and Highways in the Philippines, has been released from the Philippine National Police General Hospital in Camp Crame, Quezon City, following treatment for high blood pressure. Bonoan was admitted to the hospital after being processed by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) on Monday. His hospitalization came after he was ordered arrested by the Sandiganbayan, along with Senator Jinggoy Estrada and three other individuals, over serious charges of graft and plunder. These charges are linked to a corruption scandal involving flood control projects in the country. Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla provided updates on Bonoan's health status, confirming that he was hospitalized due to hypertension. Following his release, it remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will unfold for Bonoan and the others involved in this high-profile case.
