Court orders arrest of BIR officer

The Regional Trial Court - Branch 47 (RTC-47) has ordered the arrest and imprisonment of a ranking Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) official entrapped by the police for extorting P20,000 from a co-owner of the Ramasola Superstudio, Inc. here over seven years ago.

No bail was recommended for BIR Group Supervising Examiner Juanito Merencillo who failed in his moves to reverse the decision convicting him of direct bribery, graft and corruption.

RTC-47 Presiding Judge Suceso Arcamo ordered Merencillo's arrest after the 5th Division of the Sandiganbayan remanded to his sala the decision of the Supreme Court (SC) last year junking the revenue officer's appeal.

The SC First Division upheld as early as April 13, 2007 a Sandiganbayan decision affirming Merencillo's conviction by RTC-47 for direct bribery, graft and corruption.

The decision of the High Tribunal had become "final and executory" on August 22, 2007 and recorded in its Book of Entries of Judgment on the same day.

The Sandiganbayan, however, issued a notice of resolution remanding the case to RTC-47 "for execution of judgment" only last January 24.

IMO, daghan jud bribery cases diha sa BIR.  Maayo kay nasakpan na ning isa aron mahadlok ang uban.

hahaha. Don't you guys ask when the supposed bribery took place? 1995! How fast the wheels of justice turns, no? gives you plenty of time to get out of the way. The accused retired a long long time ago. Woder if he is still alive. And if he is, hehehe is he fit to serve his sentence? Lingaw ra pod.

Hi scorpion.. you have a point there.

But for me, it doesn't matter how long it takes, what matters is he was caught and faced the law.
