Former Lanao del Norte Rep. Abdullah Dimaporo has filed a petition before the Sandiganbayan’s Second Division to allow him to post bail for the malversation through falsification case filed against him in connection with the fertilizer fund scam.

In a nine-page Urgent Motion for Bail filed on Monday, Dimaporo cited a recent Supreme Court (SC) ruling that “an accused charged with the complex crime of Malversation of Public Funds thru Falsification of Official/Public Documents that involves an amount in excess of P22,000 is entitled to bail as a matter of right, (and) a summary hearing on bail application, is, therefore, unnecessary.”
