Vhong Navarro speaks about the court’s decision in favor of him

It’s Showtime host Vhong Navarro reacted to the Taguig Regional Trial Court’s decision to convict Cedric Lee and Deniece Cornejo in the serious illegal detention case that he filed against them.

The Kapamilya star claimed that he was detained illegally by Cedric on the night of January 22, 2014, in a condominium unit in Taguig City. This happened because Deniece claimed that he was raped by the Kapamilya star. Cedric and his companions were accused of inflicting physical harm on Vhong.

Following the court’s decision favoring Vhong, he could not help but express how grateful he is for this.
