MATALAM, North Cotabato – The Sandiganbayan Sixth Division acquitted of graft charges Charlita Andales Escaño, director of the Finance and Administrative Services Department of the Mindanao Development Authority .
The case stemmed from a seminar conducted by the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers , Davao chapter on March 16 this year at the Ritz Garden Hotel in Davao City where five civil engineers of MinDA registered and paid P6,000 each from government funds. For some reasons, Engr. Buhat, one of the five MinDA engineers, failed to attend the said seminar.
“There was no unwarranted benefit, advantage, or preference extended to the husband of the accused. As a matter of fact, Engr. Alan Escaño paid for his registration fee, although belatedly, after being sent a demand letter by PICE-Davao,” the court added.
