Polo and Villarino will receive their sentences on March 13th and March 20th, respectively.

The saga won’t be over for a while. The remaining six people charged over alleged roles in ISIA and Jetflicks will go to trial on February 3rd.

While we wouldn’t rule out the possibility of court battles, it may be more about the severity of their sentences than whether or not they’ll be sentenced at all.
