THE Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of a former provincial agrarian reform adjudicator in North Cotabato for extorting cash and tuna fish from litigants 15 years ago.

In a 21-page decision released Monday, the high tribunal affirmed the Sandiganbayan's 2019 decision convicting Henry Gelacio of the Department of Agrarian Reform Adjudication Board (Darab) Region 12 based in Kidapawan City, Cotabato for violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and sentenced him to up to eight years behind bars.
