+ May 28, 2021 THE Court of Appeal (CA)’s Cebu station has upheld its earlier decision exonerating former Daanbantayan mayor Augusto Corro from administrative charges relating to the distribution of assistance to Typhoon Yolanda victims in 2014.
In a six-page decision issued on April 12, 2021, the CA-Cebu Station’s Special Former Eighteenth Division denied the motion for reconsideration (MR) filed by former Daanbantayan councilor Renato Benatiro asking the appellate court to reverse its Oct. 30, 2019 decision.
CA Cebu Associate Justice Marilyn Lagura-Yap said Benatiro’s MR was denied for lack of merit. She said Benatiro also failed to provide new evidence to support his motion.
