Sandigan suspends Lapu-Lapu Mayor

The Sandiganbayan 6th Division has placed Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza under a 90- day preventive suspension over allegations that she allegedly misused the P15-million pork barrel fund in 2002.

Radaza told the media that she was handed her copy of the suspension by the Department of Interior and Local Government 7 on Tuesday afternoon.

She said Vice Mayor Marcial Ycong will temporary act as mayor while she is under suspension, while first Councilor Harry Radaza will become acting vice mayor.

The allegation stemmed from the alleged misuse of P15 million worth of Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) during her stint as Mactan Barangay Captain.
