Ozamiz execs linked to drugs face graft raps

The Sandiganbayan has decided to try the graft cases lodged against Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog, Sr. and his daughter Vice Mayor Nova Princess Parojinog-Echavez of Ozamiz City, after junking their earlier plea for the dismissal of the cases for supposed lack of probable cause.

The case against the two officials, who were tagged by President Rodrigo Duterte as drug protectors last year, stemmed from the awarding of a gymnasium renovation project to Parojinog & Sons Construction Co.
