                    [Summary] => The Supreme Court directed the Sandiganbayan yesterday not to wait for its lifting of the November 2001 suspension order it slapped on Presiding Justice Francis Garchitorena but proceed with dispatch in resolving the coco levy issue.

                    [Summary] => The Sandiganbayan has acquitted former Masbate vice governor and provincial administrator Mario Espinosa of seven counts of malversation of public funds.


In a resolution penned by Presiding Justice Francis Garchitorena, the Sandiganbayan said the charges against Espinosa had been previously dismissed, thus constituting double jeopardy.


The charges cropped up in 1995 when he, as Masbate provincial administrator, signed seven vouchers and checks which were encashed by individuals other than the stated payees.

                    [Summary] => An anti-graft court rejected yesterday a petition to amend a charge of perjury against ousted President Joseph Estrada in an effort to strengthen the case.

                    [Summary] => Kinatigan kahapon ng Supreme Court ang 90 araw na suspension na ipinataw ng Sandiganbayan kay Senador Miriam Defensor-Santiago noong Enero 1996 kaugnay ng kinaharap niya rito na kasong graft and corruption na may kinalaman sa naturalization ng mga iligal na dayuhan noong isa pa siyang komisyoner ng Bureau of Immigration and Deportation.


Idiniin ng Supreme Court na, bagaman may hiwalay na kapangyarihan ang hudikatura at lehislatura, saklaw pa rin ng Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (Republic Act 3019) ang mga miyembro ng Senate at ng House of Representatives.
