Enrile to Cuevas: Get well soon, exercise

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile on Tuesday told Chief Justice Renato Corona's chief counsel Serafin Cuevas to get well soon and even advised him to exercise to get rid of his vertigo.   At the start of the day's trial, defense lawyer Joel Bodegon manifested that Cuevas will still be absent because he was still not feeling well.  He was also absent on Monday, the first time since the trial started last Jan. 16.   "Our chief defense counsel is still indisposed," Bodegon said.   In an interview before the trial, defense spokesperson Jose Roy III said the 83-year-old Cuevas is suffering from vertigo and that his physicians had advised him to rest “for several days."   Enrile, presiding officer of the impeachment court, said that they hope Cuevas will get well soon.   "We understand he has vertigo...just tell him to do exercise, that will disappear," he said at the trial.    "If he needs assistance I will help him, I had that problem once upon a time," added Enrile, who is 88. — Kimberly Jane Tan/KBK, GMA News
