as Olc-Provincial Adniinistrator on July 2, 2AOI toDecember 31, 2001;

4. That as OIC--Provincial Administrator,COMPLAINANT received direct orders not oniy fromthe ACCUSED then Gc,vernor Aurora tr. cerilies butalso, most of the time, from her husband ACCUSBDAntbnio H. cerilles who was then consideredunemployed after losing his bid in the May 2001elections for the position of Member, House ofRepresentatives representing the 2.a congressionalDistrict of Zamboanga de1 Sur;

5. That COMPLAINANT, as the' then olC-provincialAdministrator, attests to the fact that almost allsignilicant decisions in running the affairs of theProvincial Government were those laid down byACCUSED Antonio H. Cerilles, including but notlimited to the biggest and most significant decisionsever made by the Cerilles Administration, thereorganization of the organizational structure of theProvincial Government" of zarnboanga del sur thatled to the retrenchmer;t of more than two thousand(2 ,000) regular arrri non-regular ernployees,depriving them of their means of livelihood.

Anc in connection with this reorganwatron d.ecision,it is a fact that ACCUSED Antonio H. cerilles, evendictated the herein COMPLAINANT (whenpresenting the reorgantzational scheme before theSangguniang Panlalatuigan) the number ofemployees to be retained when he asked: *Hla kaempleyado imong gipabilin? (How many employeesdid you retain?). COMPLAINIANT responded: "I,O2OBoss." And he shouted: Daghon pa na! (That,s stilltoo many!). And so COMPLAINANT asked: *Hla marldiag gusto nimo ipabilin, Boss?,, (How mantherefore you want to be retained, Boss?).replied: 520! At the back of his miCOMPLAINANT was figuring out from wherewhat Department further personnel reductiontaken. Difficult as it was, after restudyCOMPLAINANT was forced to bring down the figdto 721 which Antonio I-t. Cerilles finally accepted";

As ACCUSED Antonio H. Cerilles continuouslydictated and dominated the affairs of the ProvincialGovernment giving direct orders to COMPLAII\ANT,there were even several instances when ACCUSEDAurora B.

The. incurrence of this overdraft was brought aby 'the systematic juggling of funds, inMISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. By bloannual appropriations beyond the progovernment' capability to generate/ collect

Page 13: Rogelio Montealto (part 4) Graft and Corruption

cash revenues, huge expenses were incurred for theACCUSED's privately* lwn€d businesses (as abovedescribed). As finu.ncial requirements of theACCUSED's private},y-owned businesses andprojects cannot be paid from the General Fundin :riew of shortagebalances from the Trusts Funds are used insteadresulting to its continued depletion over theyeais without means in sight to have itreplenished. AND THESE JUGGLING/MISAPPROPRIATION OF. TRUST F.UNDS AREMOST RAMPANTLY DONE DURING THEINCUMBENCY OF THE AGGUSED ANTONIO H.CERILLES AS GOVERIiIOR;

Plagued with this cash shortage, the provincialgovernment of Zarnboanga del Sur no longer wasable to pay its mandatory obligations, whichincludes, but not limited to the non-remittance ofthe government and employeesGSIS/PAGIBIG/PHILHEALTH premiums, suppiiersand employees withholding taxes to the BIR andemployees loan repa,/ments to private creditor-banks per COA Aud; t Report for calendar years

6. Another means of siphoning funds from the ZDSprovincial government's coffers for the ACCUSED'sself-aggrandizement, to further enrich themselves,is the wanton availment of cash advances. Makinguse of employees as payees, cash advances arewithdrawn in the guise of utilizing it for confidentiaand intelligence expense and other purposes.funds were not actudly used as intended andaccordance with guidelines, rules and regulatiogoverning its use, the poor employee who representsas payee finds it dif{'icult to liquidate.
