In a significant development in Philippine politics, the Sandiganbayan has sentenced former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista and former City Administrator Aldrin Cuña to prison for graft.

Ex-QC mayor Herbert Bautista convicted of graft by Sandiganbayan

This ruling underscores the ongoing efforts to hold public officials accountable for corrupt practices and enforce integrity in government.

The case against Bautista and Cuña revolved around allegations of irregularities in the awarding of contracts during Bautista’s tenure as mayor. The prosecution presented evidence that both officials engaged in actions that violated the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, leading to their conviction.

The court found them guilty of conspiring to unjustly enrich themselves at the expense of the public, a decision that has been met with mixed reactions from the community.

As part of their sentence, both Bautista and Cuña have been slapped with a prison term, with the Sandiganbayan also imposing a lifetime ban from holding any public office.
