(Eagle News)– The Sandiganbayan allowed on Tuesday (May 17) former Senator Jinggoy Estrada to undergo a hospital examination for his sore right shoulder.
The Fifth Division said Estrada may undergo an MRI and X-ray only at the Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan City.
It said this could only be done on Thursday, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. or until the procedures are done.
Estrada earlier explained in his four-page motion that in the late afternoon of May 11, he experienced extreme pain on his right shoulder.
In 2014, his left shoulder pain was diagnosed as calcific tendonitis – adhesive capsulitis or “frozen shoulder.”
The court then allowed him to undergo therapy sessions at the San Juan hospital.
Estrada is facing plunder and 11 counts of graft for allegedly pocketing P183.793-million worth of kickbacks by allocating his Priority Development Assistance Fund to fake non-government organizations allegedly owned by businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles.
