The anti-graft court also set aside the prison sentences meted by a Tacloban regional court against Engineer Christine Buena and Manuel Ilagan. They were convicted of violating the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, as well as falsification of public documents, by the Regional Trial Court Branch 9 in Tacloban on November 29, 2022. They then appealed the decision.
However, the October 14 Sandiganbayan ruling, signed by Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang and concurred by Associate Justices Bernelito Fernandez and Ronald Moreno, voided the regional court’s sentence of six to seven years for graft, six months to six years for falsification, and a P2-million fine against the two.
