A co-accused of former party-list representative Zaldy Co in a malversation case files an urgent request for hospital arrest after suffering a stroke. Juliet Calvo, previously the maintenance division chief of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Region IV-B, reportedly had a stroke on Aug. 5. Her counsel tells the Sandiganbayan’s Sixth Division that she needs confinement in a hospital due to her condition.
The motion is submitted to the court handling the case, which is before the Sandiganbayan’s Sixth Division. The reports focus on Calvo’s medical situation and the legal step she takes to seek temporary detention in a hospital setting while the case proceeds. Both accounts describe the same filing and the same reason: her alleged stroke and related health needs.
