MANILA, Philippines – The Sandiganbayan affirmed the conviction of cult leader Ruben Ecleo Jr. over irregular fund disbursements for three construction projects during his term as mayor of San Jose, Surigao del Norte from 1991 to 1994. 

This, as the anti-graft court’s First Division, citing rehashed and old arguments, denied his motion to be granted a new trial.

Also found guilty were former municipal planning and development coordinator Anadelia Navarra and contractor Ricardo Santillano of PBMA Builders. – Michael Punongbayan
