MANILA — Detained Senator Juan Ponce Enrile, who is facing plunder charges was rushed to Makati Medical Center (MMC) on Thursday after coughing with blood, Philippine National Police (PNP) said.<\/p>\n

Chief Insp. Dudes Raymond Santos, spokesperson of PNP Health Center, said that Enrile was transferred to MMC around 3 a.m. due to coughing with blood that needed more tests.<\/p>\n

Santos said Enrile had pneumonia that should be taken care of in a better-equipped hospital, given the unpredictability of the senator’s health.<\/p>\n

Chief Supt. Generoso Cerbo, head of PNP-Public Information Office (PIO), said that Sandiganbayan has a standing resolution allowing Sen. Enrile to be transferred to another hospital in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

Cerbo said Enrile rushed from PNP General Hospital to MMC because of suspected pneumonia, and his not responding to medication.<\/p>\n

He also said Enrile was properly escorted by Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) personnel.<\/p>\n

He also said the PNP awaits the recommendations of Enrile’s attending physicians whether to return the senator in his cell at PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame, Quezon City or not.<\/p>\n

The 90-year-old Senator is suffering from irregular heartbeat, hypertension, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and age-related muscular degeneration, which may lead to blindness.<\/p>\n

He is one of the accused in the pork barrel scam allegedly orchestrated by Janet Lim-Napoles.<\/p>\n

His fellow co-accused senators Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla are detained at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
