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.
Based on the article in ABS-CBN News, on Thursday, May 2, Vhong Navarro shared his thoughts on the court’s decision on It’s Showtime. He expressed gratitude for receiving the decision in favor of him.
“Gusto ko munang [kunin] ang pagkakataon na ito para magpasalamat. Of course, maraming-maraming salamat Lord dahil lagi Kang nakagabay sa akin. Sa dami nang pinagdaanan ko sa buhay nandiyan ka, Ikaw ang naging sentro ko at na napakatotoo Mo, kaya maraming-maraming salamat,” the comedian-host said.
