Morales said she had ordered the filing of two counts of violation of
Section 3(e) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (Republic Act

Villanueva is the son of Jesus is Lord Church founder Bro. Eddie

Villanueva was appointed Tesda Director General with a Cabinet rank
by then-President Aquino. He served as Citizens Battle Against
Corruption (Cibac) representative from 2001 to 2010. He won as
senator in the 2016 polls.
According to the Ombudsman, the budget department on June 10,
2008, released Villanuevas P10-million PDAF to a bogus NGO to
implement agri-based livelihood projects in Region XI.
Two days later, Villanueva requested Yap to release the fund to
National Agri-business Corporation (NABCOR) as implementing
agency, with the AFPI as NGO-partner.
Yap and Nabcor then entered into a memorandum of agreement on
June 19, 2008.
Villanuevas PDAF was supposedly spent for pechay, radish, sitaw,
okra, hybrid yellow corn seedlings, liquid fertilizers and threshers
from the supplier MJ Rickson Trading Corporation
