The Sandiganbayan’s Sixth Division on Thursday reset a scheduled arraignment of former Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT 3) General Manager Al Vitangcol 3rd on graft cases filed against him last year, pending resolution of a motion he earlier filed that seeks to void the charges.

In an interview on Thursday, Vitangcol told reporters, “Kasi [because] we filed a motion to quash. For one, the court lacks jurisdiction and then number two, there is no crime committed. So talagang ‘yung i-finile ng Ombudsman talagang [So what the Ombudsman filed really]... is just a purely harassment case against me. This should have been a dead case long ago.”
