Former Postmaster General Maria Josefina Mendoza dela Cruz has been acquitted by the Sandiganbayan in one of her two graft
and two unlawful appointment charges involving the same employee of the Philippine Postal Corporation in 2011 and 2013.
In her defense, de la Cruz filed a demurrer to evidence which alleged that the weakness of the evidence of the prosecution to warrant a conviction. The anti-graft court said it “found weakness” in the evidence presented to prove that de la Cruz was aware of the deficiencies in the appointee’s qualifications for the position of Director III at the time of the appointment.
However, the anti-graft court found sufficient evidence to establish prima facie evidence of guilty in the other graft and unlawful appointment charges in the 2013 appointment of Cabigao.
