Former Tabuk Mayor Camilo T. Lammawin Jr. of Kalinga and his wife Salud Imatong Lammawin have been convicted by the Sandiganbayan Seventh Division of two graft and two direct bribery charges due to their demand of money in exchange for the release of payment to a construction company.
They were also ordered to pay a fine of P1,200,000 and P360,000, which is thrice the value of the gift of P400,000 and P120,000, respectively, they received from RCDC.
Then on October 18, 2002, the couple once again demanded P120,000 in exchange for the release of a check payment worth P1,732,260, which was the remaining balance of the advance payment for RCDC. It was also successfully proven by the prosecution that the amounts of P400,000 and P120,000 were deposited into the respective accounts of the Lammawin couple.
