For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that convicted all the Defendants of the facts charged.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by misapprehending the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles on the admissibility of evidence, “contribution act” as provided in the Public Official Election Act, “act of donation” and “joint principal offense”

Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
