CAUAYAN CITY, Philippines—The Ombudsman has cleared former Isabela Governor Maria Gracia Cielo Padaca of graft charges in connection with the increase of government subsidy for rice farmers in 2007. | |||
In a 16-page decision dated January 20, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales said there was no sufficient evidence that Padaca wasted provincial funds when she entered into a deal with the National Food Authority (NFA). | |||
The case was filed by Simeon Taguinod, who complained that Padaca abused her authority when she signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the NFA in 2005 and 2006 that increased Isabela’s subsidy for rice farmers. | |||
Taguinod also claimed that the MOA was signed without the approval of the Isabela provincial board. | |||
In her June 29, 2007 counter-affidavit, Padaca insisted that the NFA agreement was legal and did not require the permission of the provincial board.—Villamor Visaya Jr. | |||
