A REGIONAL court found Cagayan de Oro Mayor Vicente Emano and other officials guilty of indirect contempt, charging them and their four lawyers with P20,000 and P30,000 fines each.

In a decision issued last Thursday, Regional Trial Court Branch 23 also fined businessman Yian Ping, the owner of UKC Builders that constructed the Cogon Market upon whose contract the case stemmed.
