Pangelinan has been charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving, implied consent, and failure to possess a vehicle registration.
In June, Pangelinan pleaded not guilty to the charges.
At the status conference on Wednesday, Pangelinan, represented by attorney Robert T. Torres, requested the court for a trial date, which Judge Govendo granted.
Torres also told the court that discovery and other documentations of the case had already been forwarded to him by the Attorney General’s Office.
According to the traffic citation issued against Pangelinan, he was driving a white 2008 Ford pickup truck in Lower Base when he was pulled over by police.
