The Sandiganbayan has found 12 former public officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways Region 7 and Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu as well as a private citizen guilty of graft over the allegedly bogus purchase of P83 million worth of lamp post for the Philippines’ hosting of the 2007 ASEAN Summit.
The court also penalized the respondents for performing, rendering, preparing, reviewing, approving and executing, in accordance with their supposed roles attached to their expected positions, “the necessary acts, decisions, and instruments to make it appear that there was a valid negotiated procurement” when there is not.
The court cited that based on the August 25, 2006 letter addressed to Braza by a supplier identified as Director Samuel Guerville of International Sales Asia Pacific, the contractor knew of the lamp post project for at least six months already even if the Notice to Bidders were only issued in November 10 to 17, 2006.
