The Office of the President (OP) has cleared former Agriculture and Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) officials in connection with the supposed illegal issuance of Sugar Order Number 4.
The order would have allowed the importation of 300,000 metric tons of sugar without President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s approval.
According to the OP, the miscommunication stemmed from the July 15, 2022 memorandum of then-Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez that allowed Sebastian to sit as ex-officio chairman of the Sugar Regulatory Board. "In the instant case, SO No. 4 was prepared pursuant to a directive by the President to come up with an importation plan, the draft of which was sent to then ES Rodriguez. Having raised no objection therefore, respondents could have assumed its approval," the OP said in its decision.
