Vhong affirms affidavits vs Deniece, Cedric

Vhong Navarro appeared before the DOJ panel to affirm all the affidavits he executed while at the hospital. DOJ

MANILA, Philippines -  Actor Vhong Navarro went straight to the Department of Justice in Manila as soon as he was released from the hospital to affirm the contents of his supplemental affidavit.

Navarro, accompanied by his lawyer Alma Mallonga, amended minor details of past affidavits submitted earlier before swearing an oath. It was the first time Navarro stepped out of the hospital since he was confined nearly two weeks ago.

"Mr. Navarro confirms that he signed it and sworn to its authenticity and its contents," Mallonga said, adding that it is important to clarify parts of the statement for use of the investigators.

Mallonga said that Navarro's latest affidavit contains photos of the condominium unit where the January 22 mauling incident occurred.

Navarro earlier submitted affidavits dated January 23, January 30 and February 4 before filing the latest statement against businessman Cedric Lee, model Deniece Cornejo and their companions.

Lee, however, alleged that Navarro attempted to rape Cornejo in the Forbeswood Condominium unit when he and his friends rushed to rescue her and beat up the actor.

Navarro has denied Lee's statements.
