Defer arraignment,
mayor, others ask
BY CARLA GOMEZ
There was no arraignment of Silay City officials led by Mayor Jose Montelibano at the Sandiganbayan Second Division in Quezon City yesterday after they filed an omnibus motion for deferment.
The mayor and 17 others filed an omnibus motion for the deferment of their arraignment for a criminal case for violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, in connection with a P18 million city government computerization project.
They asked that the arraignment be deferred during the pendency of an administrative case before the Supreme Court, and for the dismissal of the case for lack of probable cause.
