Roberto Bernardo, who previously served as undersecretary at the DPWH, arrived at the Sandiganbayan to present his account in proceedings against Co before the court's Fifth Division. The case centers on graft allegations involving the former legislator. Bernardo's testimony is expected to form a key part of the prosecution's case as it moves through the anti-graft tribunal. The appearance marks a significant development in the long-running investigation into the matter. Further court dates have yet to be announced as the case continues through the judicial process.
