The Sandiganbayan has convicted comedian and former Quezon City councilor Roderick Paulate for graft and nine counts of falsification of documents in connection with the hiring of “ghost” employees in 2010.
“It bears noting that the job order contracts and general payrolls are deemed falsified documents because the job contractors subject therein do not exist. Accused [Paulate] maintained their existence and thus, to overcome the prosecution’s claim, accused only need to prove that they exist. Unfortunately, he failed in this respect,” the decision penned by Associate Justice Zaldy V. Trespeses, said.
“..[I]t can safely be concluded that he was the author of the falsification or asked somebody else to prepare the falsified documents,” the court added.
