The Senate sergeant-at-arms arrested anew a “defiant” former Agriculture undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-joc” Bolante last night after senators ordered his arrest and detention for giving contradicting testimony during the investigation into his alleged involvement in the P728 million fertilizer fund scam.

Bolante was cited in contempt by the members of the Senate Blue Ribbon committee for his evasiveness, thus the order for his arrest and detention.

Bolante will be detained at the Senate building starting last night until the resumption of the hearings on Monday, December 8.

Bolante was served the warrant of arrest in Makati City last night but instead of going straight to the Senate, Bolante asked the arresting team to allow him to go to his home in Ayala, Alabang in Muntinlupa first to see his wife who he said is suffering from a mild stroke.

Ang galing mangbola...clap, clap, clap! Bolante talaga no? Joke joke joke!!!
