上诉法院宣布前曼达维市市长乔纳斯·科尔特斯在Suprea搅拌站一案中不存在严重不当行为。该裁决推翻了监察专员公署早前将其免职并禁止其担任公职的决定。
在2025年7月25日颁布的判决中，上诉法院第五分庭批准了科尔特斯的请愿，并撤销了监察专员公署于2024年9月26日作出的裁决。法院认定，没有实质性证据表明他在拉博贡描笼涯（Barangay Labogon）水泥搅拌站的运营中存在腐败或恶意行为。
2026年5月7日，上诉法院驳回了复议动议，并确认驳回该行政投诉。在2026年5月21日发表的一份声明中，科尔特斯称这一结果是真理与公正的胜利，并感谢了支持者及相关法官。
这场争议始于2022年，当时有投诉称该工厂在未取得必要许可证的情况下运营。尽管行政案件现已被驳回，但科尔特斯仍面临根据《反贪污腐败行为法》提起的单独刑事诉讼。
