Constantino "Tinnex" Galagnara Jaraula (born June 20, 1937) is a Filipino politician who served as Mayor of Cagayan de Oro from 2007 to 2010.[1] He served as representative of Cagayan de Oro's at-large congressional district during the 11th, 12th, and 13th congresses.
During the 11th Congress, Jaraula's first act was filing a resolution seeking to amend the 1987 Constitution through a constitutional convention.[2] In 2003, during the 12th Congress, he was among the many congressmen that endorsed the unconstitutional[3] impeachment complaint against then-Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr.[4] In the 13th Congress, he served as the chairman of the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments. The committee during his term approved a charter change bill and was passed by the House of Representatives however it was not taken up by the Senate.[2][5]
Controversy
[edit]In 2021, Jaraula was convicted by the Sandiganbayan alongside Janet Lim-Napoles for graft and corruption in connection with the Priority Development Assistance Fund scandal.[6] In 2021, he was again convicted by the Sandiganbayan for graft over his involvement in the Fertilizer Fund scam in 2004.[7]
