A military engineer of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) was sentenced to 16 years’ imprisonment for malversation and graft in connection with an unlawful sale of four power generators amounting to P1.2 million in 2005. Convicted in a 20-page decision by Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Samuel Martires was Dante Senen – Supply Accountable Officer of AFP-Military Supply Unit – based in Cebu City. Court records show that in 2005, the Ombudsman charged Senen before the Sandiganbayan along with then-Philippine Air Force (PAF) Brig. Gen. Vladimir delos Trino, Maj. Antonio Jason Garcia and Antonio Ularte of Eduard Enterprises, over the unauthorized sale of four power generators. Senen remained at large during the trial and was arrested only on November 21, 2011 in Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City or roughly six months after the anti-graft court convicted delos Trino and Garcia of the same graft case in May 2011.
