桑迪甘巴彦法院在邦·雷维拉前参议员拒绝在提讯时作答辩后，为其贪污指控录入无罪答辩。据其律师称，此举维护了其辩护策略，同时推案动议仍在待决中。其共同被告也作出了无罪答辩。
在菲律宾马尼拉，反贪法院桑迪甘巴彦为前参议员邦·雷维拉的贪污和挪用公款案录入无罪答辩。雷维拉拒绝答辩，以避免危及其推案动议的待决状态。 雷维拉的律师弗朗西斯卡·塞尼亚于2月9日星期一向记者表示，监察长未能适当指控共谋，而且事实不支持挪用公款，因为雷维拉并非涉案资金的“负责官员”。她指出，已就该动议作出决议，但雷维拉团队尚未收到副本。 与此同时，共同被告、公共工程与公路部布拉干第一区工程办公室前工程师阿尔杰伊·多马西格，以及财务科长华尼托·门多萨，作出了无罪答辩。法院安排2月13日进行初步会议，以列出证人和证据，并于2月19日进行审前会议以标记展品。 雷维拉和门多萨的提讯因待决上诉而推迟。该案源于监察长调查人员认定不存在的布拉干潘迪9.28亿比索异常防洪项目。
