Five years after the Manila SEA Games, the Philippine Sports Commission files a case against Cojuangco for malversation of public funds. He is accused of failing to liquidate P73.24 million of the funds related to the hosting of the 2005 SEAG. The amount was based on the findings of the Commission on Audit. Although COA found out that they liquidated some of the amount, it concluded that the rest were unacceptable based on the government auditor's rules.
