On May 17, the Sandiganbayan convicted Celestino, his mother and former Rep. Clavel Asas-Martinez, Radaza and five others of graft and malversation for allegedly misappropriating the Priority Development Assistance Fund intended for the GSP-Cebu.

All the accused were also sentenced to 24 to 51 years in prison each for three counts of malversation. Except for Maria Cielo, the accused were also ordered to pay a fine of P14.4 million for two malversation convictions. They were also ordered to reimburse the government through the Bureau of Treasury the amount of P14.4 million.The case against another GSP officer, Alejandrita Meca, was archived since she remains at large.

Court records showed that Clavel withdrew through a check payable to “cash” the amount of P7.5 million on June 13, 2002. Simultaneously, Clavel gave the GSP-Cebu P400,000, which was deemed as a “donation.”
