The Sandiganbayan Fifth Division has postponed the arraignment of Tarlac Representative Noel Rivera until October 7. This decision follows Rivera's motion to consolidate multiple cases against him. Rivera, representing Tarlac's third district, is accused of violating Republic Act No. 3019, commonly known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The postponement suggests the court is considering procedural aspects before proceeding with legal proceedings.
