………………………….

(NOTE: IT SOMEHOW APPEARS THAT CHAN ONLY CERTIFIED THAT A PERMIT WAS ISSUED BY THE SB IN FAVOR OF THE LIGA NG MGA BARANGAY. THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED BY THE SB NOT BY MAYOR CHAN? THE DECISION MIGHT BE WORTH REVISITING?)

CHAN ARGUED THAT SHE HAD NO INTENT TO COMMIT THE OFFENSE CHARGED. SC SAID CRIMINAL INTENT IS NOT NECESSARY IN MALA PROHIBITA CASES.
