MANILA, Philippines - Pangasinan Gov. Amado Espino posted yesterday a P60,000-bail for the two graft cases he is facing before the Sandiganbayan.
Accompanied by his lawyer, Espino appeared before the anti-graft court’s sixth division after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Espino was indicted for his alleged involvement in illegal black sand mining in Pangasinan.
The Sandiganbayan denied his motion for judicial determination of probable cause saying the issues he raised “are best addressed during the trial.”
