The Office of the Ombudsman has ordered the filing of graft charges against Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary Kristine Evangelista and 16 others over an allegedly anomalous deal with an onion supplier for the agency’s Kadiwa stores.
The Ombudsman found Evangelista “guilty of grave misconduct and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of service.” “It seems there was no bidding that took place. The CCTVs we had showed only one person brought the three envelopes handed over to the senior vice president. Those involved were able to create an artificial shortage of onions,” he added.
The five DA officials as well as DA Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban and FTI President Robert Tan are facing complaints for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service in connection with the onion supply deal.
