The Regional Trial Court (RTC) in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu grants contractor Sarah Discaya permission to post P1 million bail in connection with criminal charges that include malversation of public funds and violation of the anti-graft law. The case stems from allegations involving a so-called “ghost” flood-control project in Davao Occidental. The RTC order covers other accused as well: it also allows Cesar Ubongen, identified as a finance officer of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Davao Occidental, to post P300,000 bail. Details on the other co-accused are limited across the reports, but one outlet notes that the court denies a bail motion filed by eight other co-accused in the same case. The reports present the bail decision as part of the ongoing prosecution in the RTC, with the allegations tied to public funds and procurement or implementation concerns related to the alleged project in Davao Occidental.
