    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Petitioner, vs. MEINRADO ENRIQUE A. BELLO, MANUEL S.

    SA
    TUITO, **** MINVILUZ S. CAMINA, JOELITA TRABUCO, ABEL,IO JUANEZA, ROSALINDA D.
    TROPEL, FELIPE Y. VILLAROSA, RAUL APOSAGA, HERMIE BARBASA and ROSARIO BARBASA-
    PERLAS, Respondents.

    FACTS:

    The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee found that when acquiring lands, the AFP-RSBS would
    execute two sets of deeds of sale: one, an unnotarized bilateral deed of sale that showed a
    higher price and the other, a unilateral deed of sale that showed a discounted purchase price.

    This was done, according to the Committee, to enable the AFP-RSBS to draw more money from
    its funds and to enable the vendors to pay lesser taxes.

    The Committee recommended to the Ombudsman (OMB) the prosecution of General Jose
    Ramiscal, Jr. (Ret.), former AFP-RSBS president, who signed the unregistered deeds of sale
    covering acquisitions of lands in certain places and for falsification of public documents.

    Acting on the Committee’s recommendation, the OMB filed with respect to the said acquisition of
    lands filed an information before the Sandiganbayan against Meinrado Enrique A. Bello, Manuel S.
    Satuito, Rosario Barbasa-Perlas, Hermie Barbasa, Minviluz Camina, Joelita Trabuco, Rosalinda
    Tropel, Felipe Villarosa, Abelio Juaneza, and Raul Aposaga for Anti-Graft and Corruption and
    Falsification cases.

    ISSUE:

    Whether or not the Sandiganbayan has jurisdiction over offenses involving the heads of the legal
    departments of government-owned and controlled corporations.

    RULING:

    NO.

    Not being a stock or non-stock corporation, AFPRSBS cannot be regarded as a government-


    owned and controlled corporation.

    Consequently, respondent AFP-RSBS legal department officers did not fall under Section 4(a)(1)(g)
    of R.A. 8249 that defines the jurisdiction of the Sandiganbayan.

    The directors or trustees of government-owned and controlled corporations do not, for example,
    exercise overall supervision and control; when they act collectively as a board, the directors or
    trustees merely lay down policies for the operating officers to implement.
