Vhong Navarro, an actor and television host, is now in the custody of the Taguig City Jail and is no longer in the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).

On Monday, Atty. Vhong’s legal team member Maggie Garduque has already transferred the actor to the Taguig City Jail.

“We confirm the transfer of Vhong from NBI to BJMP today,” Gardugue said of the Taguig City Jail’s Bureau of Jail Management and Penology.

“This is in compliance with the order of the court dated November 7, 2022,” he added.

Vhong will be exposed to a mandatory medical examination and RT-PCR test as part of the health protocols, according to the NBI.

Vhong is accused of raping model-stylist Deniece Cornejo in January 2014, according to police.

The actor had previously denied the allegation.
