While setting the schedule of the trial involving 35 Dengvaxia criminal cases, De Jesus in the same order said he was currently conducting an inventory of the cases.
Before De Jesus, Judge Cecilyn Burgos-Villavert, of the same branch, was the judge in the case. It was, however, not known immediately why a new judge was named in her place.
