Leviste to Surrender and Post Bail Personally, Spokesman Says

Batangas Representative Leandro Leviste plans to personally post bail to address legal proceedings stemming from alleged violations of the Public Service Act, according to his spokesperson. Lawyer Antonio La Vina made the announcement on Thursday, indicating that the embattled lawmaker intends to resolve the matter directly.

Leviste faces an arrest warrant connected to a multi-billion peso solar project. His legal team has signaled willingness to cooperate with the court process by posting bail rather than contesting the warrant.

According to reports, Leviste is currently in France. The timing of his return to the Philippines to post bail has not been specified. The legal case centers on allegations that the congressman violated provisions of the Public Service Act in connection with his business dealings.

The move signals an attempt by Leviste to address the charges head-on rather than through legal motions or other procedural means. Posting bail would allow him to remain free while the case proceeds through the courts.
