A former governor of Nueva Ecija has been convicted by the Sandiganbayan for graft after the provincial government, then under his watch, donated vehicles to two preferred municipalities in 2007. | GabrielLaluINQ

“The donation certainly reeked of manifest partiality for these municipalities. Had accused Tomas Joson not exhibited such obvious bias, he could have simply made a more equitable distribution of the heavy equipment or service vehicles which would have benefited all of the Municipalities who had made similar requests,” it added.

“The records do not likewise disclose that there were inventories showing that the same were unserviceable for any cause or were no longer needed by the Provincial Government at the time the same were donated to the Municipalities of Quezon and Bongabon,” it added. “While he alleged that there was an inventory of the Provincial Government’s properties, and that the donations only involved those items that exceeded the needs of its constituents, the fact of the matter was that there was nothing in the records which could support this claim,” the court explained.
