On 23 November 2018, the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court directed the offices of House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año to implement a 90-day preventive suspension of Samar Representative Milagrosa Tan. Tan was under trial for graft and malversation of public funds with the anomalous purchase of ₱16.1 million in emergency supplies without public bidding when she was the governor of Samar in 2001. The anomalous transactions involved the purchase of ₱3.9 million worth of medicines, ₱1.6 million worth of electric fans, and ₱10.6 million worth of assorted goods and rice. Tan was convicted on 1 March 2019 and was thus disqualified from holding public office.
