The Sandiganbayan has sentenced a former congressman in Bukidnon to 187 years in prison in connection with the alleged misuse of his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel amounting to P36.9 million from 2007 to 2008.
The Sandiganbayan has affirmed the conviction of former North Cotabato representative Gregorio Ipong in connection with the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel scam.
“The evidence on record unequivocally established the elements of manifest partiality, evident bad faith, and, at the very least, gross inexcusable negligence on the part of the accused,” the Sandiganbayan said.
