Description

The Office of the Ombudsman has affirmed the graft indictment of former fisheries undersecretary Eduardo Gongona over the alleged irregularities in the awarding of a P2.1-billion contract for vessel monitoring system (VMS) transceivers to a British company in 2018. The denial of Gongona’s motions for reconsideration for the reversal of the graft indictments signifies the ombudsman's determination to address the issue.
