Former Panglao, Bohol Mayor Benedicto Alcala is asking the Sandiganbayan to change its decision convicting him of graft due to the anomalous procurement of a motor vehicle worth P1.46 million back in 2005.

He filed a motion for reconsideration on May 7, telling the anti-graft court that he “vehemently disagrees” with the ruling because the prosecution’s evidence all rested on hearsay.

Further, the procurement of the vehicle worth P1,466,964.28 was sourced from the 20 percent Development Fund of the Internal Revenue Allotment and was not one of the allowable development project expenses. At the same time, Alcala argued that the element of giving unwarranted benefit through gross inexcusable negligence has not been fully established by the prosecution.
