The Philippine Star

March 03, 2024

Romblon Rep. Eleandro Jesus Madrona and former Eastern Samar governor Clotilde Salazar have been cleared of graft in connection with the 2004 fertilizer fund scam.

- Elizabeth Marcelo

Madrona and Salazar were acquitted on charges of violating Section 3 (e) Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The provision prohibits public officials from giving unwaranted benefit, advantage or preference to a private party or from causing any party, including the government, undue injury.

The Sandiganbayan's Sixth Division issued the resolutions dismissing the charges against Madrona and Salazar on Thursday.
