Hse detains Bauan Mayor Dolor for defying summons
By Nidz Godino
Bauan, Batangas Mayor Ryanh Dolor will remain in custody until House committee on Public Accounts concludes its hearings.
Police authorities apprehended Dolor on Thursday, March 27, after he returned from United States.
He was taken into custody by House Sergeant-at-Arms retired police Major General Napoleon Taas upon arrival at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 at 12:08 in the morning.
Taas was accompanied by airport police, Bureau of Immigration (BI) officials, and Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG).
He served Dolor with contempt and detention order issued by House Committee on Public Accounts.
Panel has been investigating alleged misuse of public funds in Bauan local government and issues in its transactions with water concessionaire Aquadata Inc. in Batangas.
Commission on Audit (COA) flagged Bauan’s contract with Aquadata, deeming it legally and financially unsound due to firm’s failure to meet prequalification requirements.
Aquadata has supplied water to Bauan since 2013 and to San Pascual since 2015.
House panel issued contempt and detention order on March 17 after Dolor repeatedly refused to attend its hearings without legally or reasonably justified excuse.
He received three invitations but submitted excuse letters for his absence. Panel then issued show-cause order and subpoena, compelling him to justify his absence and explain why he should not be penalized.
Panel later learned that Batangas Governor Hermilando Mandanas had approved Dolor’s travel authority for US trip from March 11 to March 26 for medical treatment or procedures.
For the committee, travel authority would have been considered legal and reasonable if it had included medical records or specific justification in excuse letter.
Rep. Jonathan Keith Flores (Bukidnon, 2nd District) said during hearing timing of travel authority was suspicious, as it coincided with scheduled hearings.
Meanwhile, Rep. Romeo Acop (Antipolo, 2nd District) also discovered Aquadata president Joseph Yu and vice president Jonathan Yu were overseas during Dolor’s absence.
Both have been cited in contempt and ordered detained by public accounts committee.
