 Imelda

On November 9, the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division decided that Marcos — who was absent during the
promulgation of her cases — was guilty of violating R.A. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices
Act when she funneled funds to seven Swiss foundations while she was a member of the Batasang
Pambansa, governor of Metro Manila, and as minister of Human Settlements.

According to the Sandiganbayan decision, Mrs. Marcos and her late husband former President Ferdinand
Marcos set up the Swiss foundations and three other local entities using the pseudonym Jane Ryan and
William Saunders for their own family’s benefit and not for charity.

She was sentenced to serve jail time of six years and one month up to 11 years for each count. Weeks
after, the Sandiganbayan allowed her to post bail again, worth P300,000, in consideration of her old age
and while her motion was being heard at the Supreme Court.

 Bong revilla jr.

On December 7, the anti-graft court acquitted Revilla of plunder arising from the pork barrel scam
because the prosecution failed to prove his guilt. On the other hand, co-accused lawyer Richard Cambe,
Revilla’s aide; and mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles were convicted.
Both Napoles and Cambe were sentenced to 40 years in jail and were perpetually disqualified from
holding public office.

Revilla was accused of pocketing kickbacks when he allocated P224 million of his pork barrel or the
Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to bogus non-government organizations (NGO) owned by
Napoles.
Sandiganbayan cannot find any proof that Revilla was either directly involved in the scam, or that he
guided Cambe in the scheme. Furthermore, Revilla’s signature was supposedly forged by Napoles’
assistant, state witness Benhur Luy, according to employees of Napoles.

 Ex-Caloocan Mayor Enrico Echiverri

Echiverri was acquitted of four graft charges just this December, in relation to a walkway and drainage
project without the nod of Caloocan City Council. His acquittal brought down the number of cases filed
against him by the Office of the Ombudsman to 53.

The cases were in connection with a P1.27-million streetlight project, a P4.94-million pathwalk project,
an P8.81-million drainage system project and a P1.44-million street improvement project Echiverri had
awarded to P.B. Grey Construction, Red Scorpion Construction and Supply, Roadmax Construction
Corp., and MRRM Trading and Construction.

The number could slide down even more if the First Division approves the prosecution’s request to
withdraw the four cases against Echiverri.
