MANILA, Philippines — The Sandiganbayan has denied the motion of former Quezon City Mayor Herbert 'Bistek' Bautista for the outright dismissal of his graft case over a P32.208-million contract for the procurement of an online occupational permitting and tracking system, saying the issues he raised would be more properly tackled in a full-blown trial. In a 15-page resolution dated April 26, the antigraft court's Seventh Division denied Bautista's omnibus motion seeking to quash or dismiss the graft case pending against him with prejudice.
