Ex-Coast Guard chief charged over unfinished P9.6-M project

04:53 AM August 07, 2018

Retired Rear Adm. Wilfredo Tamayo, the former commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), has been charged in the Sandiganbayan for approving the full payment of P9.59 million for a project that had yet to be completed in March 2009.

Tamayo was charged with one count of violating Section 3(e) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act for causing undue injury to the government and giving unwarranted benefits to contractor Joshwell Trading.

The former PCG chief allegedly approved the disbursement voucher for the full payment of all the Special Maritime Advance Rescue Team items despite Joshwell Trading having only made partial deliveries. —Vince F. Nonato
