00:00Samantala nagbigay ng detali ang Office of the Ombudsman
00:03kaugnay sa kasong isasampa laban sa St. Timothy Construction
00:06ng mga diskaya at ilang opisyal ng DPWH Davao Occidental.
00:12May uptake din ang Ombudsman sa mga rekomendasyon
00:14ng Independent Commission for Infrastructure
00:17na masampahan ng kaso.
00:19Yan ang ulat ni Rod Lagusa.
00:22Nagay na mga kasong malversation of public funds
00:25through falsification of documents
00:27at paglabag sa Anti-Graph and Corrupt Practices Act
00:30ang Office of the Ombudsman.
00:32Laban kay Sara Diskaya,
00:33isa pang opisyal ng St. Timothy Construction Corporation
00:36at walong opisyal ng DPWH Davao Occidental District Engineering Office.
00:41Kaugnay ito ng umano'y Ghost Blood Control Project
00:44na nagkakalaga ng 96.5 million pesos
00:47sa barangay Culaman Jose Abad Santos Davao Occidental
00:50na taong 2022 na e-award.
00:53Ayon kay Assistant Ombudsman Mico Clavano,
00:55inerekomendan ang Office of the Ombudsman
00:57na walang piansa para sa kasong malversation.
01:00Anya, base sa complaint,
01:01ang mga ito umano'y nagsabwatan
01:03para lumabas ang pondo para sa naturang proyekto.
01:06Bukod kay Diskaya,
01:07kasama sa respondent si Maria Roma Angeline Remando
01:09ng St. Timothy Construction Corporation,
01:12habang kabilang naman sa walong opisyal
01:14ng DPWH,
01:15Davao Occidental District Engineering Office,
01:18si na District Engineer Rodrigo Larete,
01:20Assistant District Engineer Michael Awa,
01:23at anim pang iba pa na section chiefs,
01:25project engineers at inspectors.
01:27Hihingi naman ang whole departure order
01:29ang Office of the Ombudsman pagating sa mga ito.
01:31Dagdag pa dito,
01:32ang mga opisyal ng DPWH na respondent sa kaso
01:35ay pinatawan na rin ang preventive suspension
01:37sa loob ng 6 na buwan,
01:38kasunod na rin ang grave misconduct
01:40at serious dishonesty.
01:41Anya, base sa isinagawang inspeksyon at mga witness,
01:45ay walang aktual na konstruksyon na naganap sa lugar.
01:47Respondents certified that the project was completed.
01:52They are found to have falsified accomplishment reports,
01:58issued fraudulent billing documents,
02:01and endorsed disbursement vouchers
02:03that triggered the release of the entire project cost.
02:07Anya, ito'y nakumpirma sa isinagawang on-ground inspeksyon
02:10ng PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group
02:13na pag-alaman na nagsimula lamang ang konstruksyon dito
02:16matapos na lumabas ang isyo ng flood control projects.
02:19Paliwanag ni Clavano,
02:21kaya nagain sa Regional Trial Court sa Digo City
02:23ang Office of the Ombudsman
02:24dahil nasa salary grade 25
02:27ang pinakamataas na akusado dito.
02:29At ito ang nakakasakop sa lugar
02:30kung saan humahawak ng public office ang respondents.
02:33Now, it is still possible
02:35that there are proponents in this case
02:38that have yet to be uncovered.
02:41But as of right now,
02:42and given the counter affidavits of the respondents,
02:45wala pa po tayo nakikita.
02:46So, we went ahead and filed the case
02:50but that does not stop us
02:52from collecting more evidence
02:54that will show that there are proponents
02:58or higher officials involved in this case.
03:02Samantala, may tatlong kaso,
03:03bid rigging at paglabag
