CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Office of the Ombudsman in Quezon City dismissed the criminal complaints against Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia and Cebu City South District Rep. Eduardo “Edu” Rama Jr. over the alleged usurpation and abuse of authority on the donated dressed chicken issue at the height of the pandemic.
The resolution was approved by Deputy Ombudsman for Luzon and OIC Office of the Ombudsman Cornelio Somido.Garcia and Rama faced charges of Violation of Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code or the Usurpation of official functions for allegedly accepting 17,000 donated chickens from a private company in May 2020.Another allegation was that Rama and Garcia usurped the authority of the late Mayor Labella by accepting the donated chickens without his authority.
“Not having successfully established respondents’ alleged acts, the second and third elements of the offense are certainly wanting in the case…Clearly, the charge for Violation of Section 3 of R.A 3019, as amended, against respondents has no leg to stand on,” read the court decision.The Anti-graft Office also said Salcedo had not proved by substantial evidence that the three officials were guilty of abuse of authority.
