The Sandiganbayan has affirmed the conviction of former Mayor Norlaine Mitmug Limbona of Pantar, Lanao del Norte and Municipal Accountant Paganaibae Abinal Macaumbos for graft and violations of the Government Auditing Code in the irregular grant of P11.8 million cash advances in 2008.
Upheld were their prison term ranging from six to 10 years for violation of Section 3(e) of Republic Act No. 3019, the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, and the fine of P20,000 each for their 20 counts of violations of Section 89, in relation to Section 128, of Presidential Decree No. 1445 or the Government Auditing Code.
The case against acting Municipal Treasurer Orac Galmac Racmat, to whom the cash advances were given, has been archived because he has remained at-large.
