BUKIDNON NEWS | MANOLO FORTICH BUKIDNON – IT’S CONFIRMED.
A warrant of arrest has been issued for former Bukidnon First District Congressman Neric Acosta and his mother, former Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon mayor Socorro Acosta.
The Sandiganbayan Fifth Division issued the arrest order today. The warrant of arrest was made in connection with the perjury case filed against the Acostas.
