Angono ex-treasurer, CoA rep jailed for missing P18-M fund
ANGONO, Rizal – The former municipal treasurer of this town and a Commission on Audit (CoA) employee are now in jail on charges of malversation of public funds.
Police said Municipal Treasurer Henrietta Miranda and Juanita Ajero-Bernadez, a CoA representative to this town, were arrested Wednesday night in Bloomingdale Subdivision, Barangay San Pedro.
The arrests were covered by a warrant issued by Judge Dennis Patrick Perez of the Fourth Judicial Region of the Binangonan Regional Trial Court for malversation of public funds charges under Criminal Case No. 09-329
Earlier, the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office found "prima facie evidence" against the suspects over some P18 million missing and unaccounted for from the municipal treasurer’s cash vault in December 2007.
National Bureau of Investigation records showed that the missing fund was discovered six months after Mayor Aurora Villamayor assumed her post.
The respondents executed their respective testimonies denying the charges against them. (Nel B. Andrade & F. T. Wakefield)
