MANILA- A former dean was found guilty by the Sandigabayan 7th Division of 2 counts of graft for allowing her privately-owned review school to use the school’s auditorium in 2012.The anti-graft court sentenced Former Southern Luzon State University College of Allied Medicine Dean Susana Salvacion to 6 to 8 years for each of the graft conviction in connection with the holding of a 21-day review class for the nursing board exams in the auditorium without the necessary permit or contract.According to the charges filed by the Office of the Ombudsman, Salvacion owned Nurmed Hyperlearn Review and Tutorial Services which conducted the review classes.“Here, rental was even paid after the auditorium was used and surprisingly after a complaint was made and investigation was conducted,” the court said in the decision promulgated on Jan. 25, 2019.The decision was penned by Associate Justice Georgina Hidalgo, with the concurrence of Division Chairperson Ma. Theresa Dolores Gomez-Estoesta.The court noted that there were eight prosecution witnesses presented, including then Lucban Mayor Moises Villasenor who filed the complaint-affidavit against Salvacion.Four defense witnesses were presented, including Salvacion, who stressed that the use of the auditorium was duly paid by Nurmed.“As an official of the university, she is supposed and expected to protect the interest of the institution where she works. In relation to this, it is her duty to protect the name of the school, its reputation, the students enrolled therein, and the properties and effects owned by said school. But, regrettably, she took advantage of the facilities of the university by using her position,” the court said.Aside from imprisonment, Salvacion was also perpetually disqualified from holding public office.
