CITY – Former Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioner Grace Padaca, who
is facing graft charges before the Sandiganbayan, posted bail Nov. 6.
Padaca posted P40,000 bail after the
anti-graft court issued a warrant for her arrest for failing to submit her
statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) when she was governor of
Isabela.
She arrived at the Sandiganbayan with her
lawyers Armand Eleazar and Rafael Juico.
The charges stemmed from a complaint filed
against her by former Naguilian town mayor Francisco Ramirez.
Padaca, who said the complaint was
politically motivated, is seeking to regain her seat as Isabela governor in the
2016 elections.
She filed her certificate of candidacy with
the Comelec provincial office on Oct.12.
