Former San Fernando, Bukidnon mayor Laurencia Edma is given six to 10 years in jail and perpetual disqualification from public office for graft.
MANILA, Philippines – The Sandiganbayan affirmed the graft conviction of a former Bukidnon municipal mayor over an anomalous procurement involving almost P20 million worth of heavy equipment in 2004.
Sandigabayan in August 2022 found Edma and municipal accountant Felipa Catanus in violation of Republic Act 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act for greenlighting the purchase of a tractor bulldozer and a vibratory soil compactor amounting to P19.4 million without going through competitive building.
Associate Justice Ma. Theresa Dolores Gomez-Estoesta wrote the decision, while Associate Justices Zaldy Trespeses and Georgina Hidalgo concurred. Edma, state auditor Carlito Matias, and Mindanao Philippines Sunday Journal business editor Bernardina Basay were also found guilty of falsification of public documents.
