PROSECUTION TO SANDIGAN
Deny motion to cancel
arraignment of mayor
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
The Office of the Special Prosecutor has asked the Sandiganbayan Fourth Division to deny for lack of merit the omnibus motion for reconsideration and to cancel/defer arraignment and further proceedings filed by Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella.
In its opposition dated April 14, 2015, the Prosecution said Puentevella's motion is merely asking the Honorable Court to reconsider the scheduling of the case for his arraignment, but not necessarily the denial of his motion for reconsideration.
The SandiganBayan Fourth Division had earlier scheduled the arraignment of Puentevella on April 15, and has reset it to May 14, 2015 at 8:30 a.m. pending the submission of the Prosecution of its comment/opposition to the mayor's omnibus resolution.

Bacolod Councilor Carl Lopez met with Commission on Audit Commissioner Heidi Mendoza on the incident involving an auditor sent from the Iloilo Regional Office 6 to check on the alleged fertilizer scam involving former Rep. Monico Puentevella, a press release from his office said.
Puentevella, was particularly mentioned in the Senate investigation chaired by then Sen. Ramon Magsaysay, the press release said.
Instead of cooperating with the investigation to shed light and clear the former Congressman's name in the alleged scam, City Legal Officer Rayfrando Diaz wrote a cease-and-desist letter addressed to Auditor Gloria Payofelin, the press release added.
