Guimaras bet says estafa charges a 'political ploy'

ILOILO CITY — Guimaras governor aspirant Margarita Cacho described the charges of swindling or estafa filed against her as 'a clear political maneuvering' meant to derail her candidacy.

In a statement on Feb. 25, Cacho said her arrest on Feb. 11 was a 'cunning strategy orchestrated by her rivals to ruin my name, taint my reputation, and deceive the public.'
