Justice Secretary on-leave Hernando Perez checked out of the hospital yesterday, but may go back early next year to have a gallbladder stone removed.


Perez entered the hospital earlier this week to get "much-needed rest and a medical check-up" after he was diagnosed with bleeding ulcers, Perez’s lawyer Agnes Devanadera said yesterday. 


The diagnosis of the ulcers compelled Perez to go on a 30-day leave.
