The cases are in connection with Villanueva’s alleged involvement in the questionable use of P 10-million worth of Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) back in 2008 when he was the party-list representative of group CIBAC.
Aside from Villanueva, nine other persons have been found liable for the alleged irregularity in the use of the lawmaker's pork barrel.
