Philsaga lauds court decision
The chairman and president of Philsaga Mining Corp., Joseph P. Mahusay, lauded the Provincial Prosecutor of Agusan del Sur, Ceferino Dino D. Paredes III, for the outright dismissal of cases filed against him and his colleagues in Rosario, Agusan del Sur. The case stems from a case filed by rogue employees of Philsaga Mining Corp. who refuse to recognize the position of Mahusay. They alleged that he trespassed inside the premises. This situation prompted the calling of police assistance by employees of Philsaga who wrongly claimed trespassing and disturbance. After a few hours of detention, Provincial Prosecutor Paredes, appreciating the issue and the various complaints, swiftly ruled on the case by dismissing it outright. The Chief of Police of the Rosario Municipal Police Office was further directed to release Mahusay immediately. The ruling is a triumph for Mahusay as he assumes his position in Philsaga. The bigger issue in this is the legitimacy of his election as officer which was recognized by Davao Regional Trial Court in its ruling dated 22 May 2023.

Graft court junks Plaza’s reversal petition
The Sandiganbayan has rejected former Agusan del Sur representative Rodolfo Plaza’s petition to overturn its denial of his earlier motion to dismiss prosecutors’ evidence in connection with his pork barrel fund misuse case. The court ruled that Plaza’s current plea echoes his previously denied motion for leave to file a demurrer to evidence anchored on the same, albeit scantier grounds. “There being no new grounds for which the Court may anchor the reversal of its previous decree, the Court finds no cogent reason to deviate from its prior ruling,” the 13-page resolution promulgated on Friday read. “The Court stands behind its original pronouncement that the evidence presented by the prosecution, if unrebutted, constitutes prima face evidence of guilt sufficient to warrant the conviction of the accused,” it added. The former lawmaker was charged with five counts of graft, five counts of malversation and two counts of direct bribery by the Ombudsman for allegedly funneling his Priority Development Assistance Funds or pork barrel to bogus non-government organizations of businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles, the alleged mastermind of the scheme. From 2004 to 2010, Plaza allegedly received P42.1 million in commissions, rebates and kickbacks from his PDAF allocations while serving in the House of Representatives. The payoff allegedly occurred at either Napoles’ workplace in Ortigas or his home in Alabang Hills. Plaza was part of the second wave of lawmakers implicated in the PDAF scam and are now facing charges of stealing public funds for “ghost projects” by funneling the money through Napoles’ fake foundations.
