The former bank manager who was sentenced to 1,228 years in prison for 45 counts of estafa through falsification of public documents has elevated his case to the Court of Appeals.


Antonio Kee Soontit, through his lawyers, informed Regional Trial Court Judge Geraldine Faith Econg that he has decided to elevate the case to the appellate court hoping that it would reverse the RTC decision.


But Econg has still to resolve the pending motion filed by the lawyers of Solidbank, now Metrobank, for the cancellation of Soontit's bail in order for him to be sent to jail.
