Lawyer Katrina Abad, one of the witnesses of the prosecution, said that Nutri Growth Philippines Inc., the supposed supplier of agricultural products, was not issued a license to operate in Manila.
“No records found, your honor,” Abad responded when Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Bernelito Fernandez asked if a Nutri Growth Philippines, Inc. with an address in Manila will appear on Manila’s Bureau of Permit-Administrative Services database.
Abad said worked in Manila’s Bureau of Permit-Administrative Services since 2004, and was promoted to Licensing Officer 1 in 2011 then promoted again to Licensing Officer 2 in 2015. Abad’s designation as OIC was repeatedly questioned by the defense counsels, but Fernandez said questions on her designation should be explained by appointing authorities.During redirect examination by government prosecutors, Abad told the court her appointment was issued through an order of the department's director. She also presented her appointment papers on her previous posts.
