The Sandiganbayan has denied the plea of the alleged dummies of former President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda to suspend their trial for an ill-gotten wealth case involving their Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. (ETPI) shares.

The anti-graft court said that the trial for Civil Case 0178, which seeks to recover 3,305 shares of stock in the ETPI from individuals who are allegedly holding such shares for the Marcos couple, will proceed in the absence of a stay order from the Supreme Court .

These defendants, in their manifestation with motion for suspension, cited a petition pending before the SC challenging the 2019 decision of the Sandiganbayan Third Division in Civil Case 0009 that there is a preponderance of evidence that the ETPI shares of the defendant-movants are ill-gotten wealth of the late dictator.

"If it is correct that the Third Division of this Court has committed palpable mistake in not affording due process to movants/defendants in relation to the decision in Civil Case No. 0009, movants should have applied for a temporary restraining order to arrest the happening of possible grave injury.

The anti-graft court pointed out that the case was filed "pursuant to the instruction of the Supreme Court to implead the registered owners of those shares in a formal complaint."
