The Office of the Ombudsman has filed graft charges against former Iloilo City mayor Jed Mabilog and councilor Plaridel Nava II before the Sandiganbayan over alleged intervention in the awarding of a government contract to a towing services firm.
Based on the criminal information filed by the government prosecutors, Mabilog and Nava, as representatives of the Iloilo City government, allegedly entered a memorandum of agreement with 3L Towing Services allowing the latter to clamp and/or tow illegally parked vehicles in the city without competitive processes as provided under Republic Act No. 6957.
In addition, the anti-graft body said Mabilog allegedly contributed P500,000 to 3L Towing Services’ capital, and that Nava was researching for possible suppliers of wheel clamps from China, preparing the documents for 3L Towing Services’ registration with the Department of Trade and Industry and Bureau of Internal Revenue.
“Accused Mabilog instructed accused Nava to draft the above-named MOA without incorporating the requirements of R. A. No. 6957 to favor 3L Towing Services, secured the services of another lawyer to review/revise the draft MOA, requested authority from the Sangguniang Panlungsod to sign the MOA with 3L Towing Services, and signed the MOA,” it said.
