MANILA, Philippines - The Partido Demokratiko Pilipino confirmed that a case was filed at the Sandiganbayan against its acting chairman and former energy secretary Alfonso Cusi by the Office of the Ombudsman involving the Malampaya gas project.

In a statement on Saturday, PDP Deputy spokesman Ferdinand Topacio stressed that it was also the "same case that was previously dismissed by the Office of the Ombudsman which found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Sec [retary] Cusi." "The reversal of the resolution last year is now the subject of certiorari proceedings before the Supreme Court, and out of respect to that institution and the principle of sub judice, we will not comment further on the merits thereof," Topacio added.
