The graft charges filed by former Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis 'Chavit' Singson against two former mayors of Narvacan town received a boost after the Sandiganbayan allowed one of the co-accused to become state witness. In a resolution on Aug. 18, the antigraft court's Second Division granted the prosecution's motion to discharge Constante Cabitac, then the president of the Federation of Farmers of Narvacan Ilocos Sur. Cabitac can provide 'direct evidence' against those responsible for the alleged misappropriation of P81 million intended for the federation, on top of the testimonies already given by 11 other witnesses, the prosecutors said.
