MANILA, Philippines - Former Camarines Sur Governor Luis Raymond Villafuerte preempted his arrest by posting bail on Thursday.


Prior to the bail, Sandiganbayan 5th Division issued a warrant of arrest February 7 against Villafuerte in connection with his alleged violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.


The arresting officer was supposed to take Villafuerte into custody that afternoon, but the former provincial chief already posted a bail bond of P90,000 that morning.


Villafuerte is accused of skipping public bidding in allowing a P20 million transaction for petroleum products from Fuel Express Zone firm.


A preliminary conference for the case has been scheduled this month.


Villafuerte's son, Miguel, is currently the governor of the province. - Camille Diola
