MANILA, Philippines–The camp of model-stylist Deniece Cornejo has asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to place comedian and TV Ferdinand “Vhong” Navarro under the Bureau of Immigration’s lookout bulletin list for being a flight risk.
Cornejo’s lawyer Howard Calleja said Tuesday he had already sent a letter to Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to issue
a look out bulletin order (LBO) against Navarro since the actor himself had already been charged before the Taguig Prosecutor with rape.
Cornejo’s request against Navarro came four days after the DOJ issued an LBO against her, businessman Cedric Lee and his sister Bernice, Ferdinand Guerrero, and Zimmer Rance. They were allegedly involved in the mauling of Navarro last January 22.
With an LBO, immigration officials on all ports nationwide are alerted of an individual’s movement but not necessarily restrict him or her from leaving the country.
“In the spirit of fairness, we hope that the DOJ will act on our request for an LBO against Navarro. His [rape] case, if not higher, is at par with the serious illegal detention case filed against my client,” Calleja said.
