The Sandiganbayan Third Division has acquitted Loboc Mayor Leon Asane Calipusan of his graft charge relative to the reportedly anomalous use of a parcel of land that eventually turned into a zip line business.

Calipusan was initially slapped with a violation of Section 3 of R.A. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act for taking a parcel of land belonging to the heirs of Epitacio Tanzo located at Barangay Gotozon, Loboc covered by Tax Declaration No. 2008-29-0020-00276 back on May 2010.

They unanimously adopted Resolution No. 28-2010 on March 10, 2010, which set aside P3.290 million for the implementation of the Phase I program on the zip line project, which aimed to boost the municipality’s tourism. When the heirs’ lawyer approached Calipusan and informed him that the zip-line facility was built using a portion of their land, Calipusan offered to buy the lot from them at P20 per square meter.
