The Sandiganbayan has ordered anew the arrest of former Maguindanao governor and now Shariff Saydona Mustapha town Vice Mayor Datu Sajid Islam Uy Ampatuan who failed to attend the promulgation last Feb. 9 of the decision that found him guilty of 126 counts of falsification of public documents, four counts of graft, and four counts of malversation of public funds.

Ampatuan's conviction arose from the anomalous use of public funds for the repair of school buildings when he was Maguindanao governor.

The Sandiganbayan said public funds amounting to P72,256,140, went to fictitious lumber companies with the use of falsified disbursement vouchers. These fictitious and non-existent companies included Andong Lumberyard and Construction Supply, Nasser Lumberyard and Construction Supply, Ismael Lumberyard and Construction Supply, and Usman Lumberyard and Construction Supply.

For his graft conviction, Ampatuan was sentenced to prison term ranging from six to 10 years for each count with perpetual disqualification from holding public office.

For malversation, he was sentenced to 17 to 18 years imprisonment for each count and ordered to pay the penalties of P15.995 million, P11.748 million, P12.419 million, and P22.018 million, which are equivalent to the amounts malversed.

In a resolution issued last April 20, the Sandiganbayan denied Mayor Ampatuan’s motion to avail himself of post-conviction remedies.

Former Maguindanao governor and now Shariff Saydona Mustapha town Vice Mayor Datu Sajid Islam Uy Ampatuan has been ordered rearrested after he failed to attend his sentencing for falsification of public documents, graft, and malversation of funds.
