The Sandiganbayan has upheld its ruling dismissing the graft and malversation of public funds cases against former Mexico, Pampanga mayor Teddy Tumang and seven other officials.
In a resolution dated December 12, 2025, the anti-graft court denied the prosecution’s motion for reconsideration, which sought to overturn its September 3, 2015 ruling granting the demurrer to evidence filed by Tumang and his co-accused.
The prosecution argued that the court erred in finding the evidence insufficient, claiming the ruling was based on a “gross misapprehension of facts” and was “unfounded, speculative, or arbitrary.”
