Carcar Municipal Agriculturist Roque Rellon Sarcauga of Cebu has pleaded guilty to the charge of failure to render account instead of graft before the Sandiganbayan Seventh Division.
Sarcauga is one of the co-accused in the graft charge filed against Carcar Vice Mayor Mario Patricio Paraz Barcenas in relation to the fertilizer fund scam back in 2011.
Sarcauga was already arraigned on July 17, 2018, wherein he entered a not guilty plea. But on July 2, 2019, he offered a plea bargain to the lesser offense of violation of Section 218 of the Revised Penal Code, or Failure of Accountable Officer to Render Accounts. He was also willing to restitute the amount of P125,000 to the government.
