Former Davao del Sur provincial council member Alberto Bailota Jr. has been acquitted by the Sandiganbayan Second Division of graft and malversation charges due to the failure of the prosecution to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

Bailota was initially slapped with two counts of violation of Section 3 of R.A. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and another two counts of Article 217 in relation to Article 171 of the Revised Penal Code, also known as Malversation of Public Funds or Property Through Falsification of Public Documents.

Then from April to August 2003, Bailota reportedly did the same thing for the alleged delivery of 50 sacks of rice worth P50,000. He later appropriated the call cards to his own advantage and benefit. However, the court ruled that her testimony is insufficient to hold Bailota liable for the crimes charged, since there were documents presented by the defense that showed that sacks of tonner rice were delivered to Davao del Sur.
