An official of the Land Transportation Office (LTO-7) was arrested by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (CIDU) for graft charges.
But Joel Maloloy-on, Human Resource Management Officer of LTO-7, immediately posted bail of P30,000.
Regional Trial Court (RTC) Judge Sylva Aguirre-Paderanga issued the arrest warrant against Maloloy-on for violation of Sec. 3 RA 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
Last week, Maloloy-on also surrendered to the same unit as he has another warrant for the same offense.
Police said Maloloy-on is facing at least six counts of graft charges.
Maloloy-on is among the five LTO-7 officials who were implicated in the alleged misuse of more than P23 million in public funds.
The four others were already dismissed from LTO by the Visayas Ombudsman for another case which is the alleged illegal release of P20.9 million in 2005.
They are former LTO 7 chief Alex Leyson, supervising transportation regulation officer Gonzalo Baybay, finance and management division officer-in-charge Corazon Bascon and assistant cashier Marissa Abear Veriña.
Leyson is now a councilman in barangay Talamban.
