JUSTICE Secretary Menardo I. Guevarra was hospitalized on Tuesday morning, a department official said on Tuesday.

Mr. Guevarra was under observation and would undergo routine tests, Justice Undersecretary Adrian Ferdinand S. Sugay said in a Viber message to reporters. “He is now okay.”

Later in the day, Mr. Guevarra told reporters in a Viber message that he “had breathing and fatigue problems the past few weeks.”
