Ex-San Remigio mayor questioned for unliquidated cash advances
FORMER San Remigio Mayor Jay Olivar is now facing a case at the Ombudsman after he allegedly failed to account cash advances worth P585,000 in 2015.
Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales ordered the filing of four counts of Failure to Render Accounts (Article 218 of the Revised Penal Code) against the former mayor at the Sandiganbayan.
The press statement from Ombudsman’s official website reported Olivar has received a total of P585,000.00 in cash advances in 2011 for various expenses for its anti-illegal drugs campaign, Christmas celebration, Suroy-Suroy Sugbo and supplies.
“Clearly, from the grant of cash advances in 2011, respondent’s failure to liquidate as of 30 June 2015 speaks volumes of his criminal transgression,” said Morales.
