ADVERTISEMENTThe orders would not immediately take effect because the people held liable under the two NDs are given six months to submit an appeal before the FAO director and then the three-man commission proper. On top of this, the COA found that Hilmarc’s Construction Corp. reported a 100-percent accomplishment rate even when the projects were still incomplete at the time. All in all, 57 individuals were held liable under the ND concerning the payments of Hilmarc’s. 14 persons led by the Binays, as well as MANA as the corporate entity, were held liable under this ND. De Veyra, Dasal, Amores, Barlis, Hechanova and Badillo were also included among the liable city officials.
