Transcript
00:00The former Agusan del Sur Rep. Rodolfo Plaza was acquitted by the Sandigan Bayan Second Division.
00:06Janet Napoles and others are businessmen in the case of Malversation of Public Funds at Graff.
00:12This is due to the misuse of Plaza's P27.5 million Priority Development Assistance Fund from 2008 to 2009.
00:23According to the decision, it is not proven that the issuance of the fund by Plaza to the two non-government organizations owned by Napoles is wrong.
00:33Napoles previously denied that he owns the so-called NGOs.
00:38Aside from Plaza and Napoles, some former officials of the Department of Budget and Management and two abolished state firms were also fired.
00:48Plaza also has no fault in the two counts of direct bribery because it is not proven that he received a commission, kickback or rebate as a consideration in choosing the relevant organizations.
01:02The two personalities have not yet made a statement regarding the decision.
01:06Napoles is facing other cases related to the pork barrel of other lawmakers.
