This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

The amount was turned over by Una Grande Tierra Development Corporation in two installments of P2.5 million each, one in cash and another through a cheque, described as a “regulatory fee” for business permits related to land reclassification. According to Loreto Santos, Punsalan’s chief of staff, he gave the initial P2.5 million cash directly to Punsalan, while the remaining P2.5 million was received by Santos as “collectibles” for his delivery service.

The House panel is investigating the allegations as stated in House Resolution 1503 filed by Senior Citizens Representative Rodolfo Ordañes on land transactions and other corrupt practices involving Punsalan and several members of the Sangguniang Bayan , who all failed to attend the hearing. Marcoleta also revealed a January 13, 2020 letter requiring business owners to confirm the land reclassification with Punsalan which involved converting agricultural land to non-agricultural use for 18 establishments in San Simon’s industrial area.
