On August 30, 2007, Marquez was convicted of graft and corruption (6-10 years imprisonment) by the Philippine Sandiganbayan 4th Division (headed by Associate Justice Gregory S. Ong and posted bail. The other convicts are Silvestre de Leon, city treasurer; Flocerida Babida, budget officer; and Ofelia Cuanan, general services chief. Marquez filed a motion for reconsideration. The Commission on Audit accused Marquez of overpricing the broomsticks (purchased from January 1996 to September 1997, by P462,708 and did not go through the regular bidding procedures).^[1] Marquez further filed a 14-page demurrer to evidence on 8 other cases of graft pending in the other 2nd division of the Sandiganbayan (involving more than 8,000 broomsticks worth over P120,000 allegedly procured without public bidding on March 1997).^[2]

On September 28, 2007, the Sandiganbayan heard Marquez's “Motion to Reopen the Proceedings” and ordered the prosecution to file comment before October 25. Citing conflict of interest, Marquez also asked Associate Justice Gregory S. Ong to inhibit since the latter's wife Nancy Ong sued Marquez’s wife, Vanessa (Alma Moreno) for unpaid sum of money.^[3] On March 12, 2008, the Sandiganbayan Fourth Division affirmed the conviction of Joey Marquez and other accused on graft charges.^[4] Gregory S. Ong, in an 8-page resolution promulgated on May 21, 2008, inhibited himself from these cases, "to safeguard the ideal of an impartial administration of justice, free from suspicion of bias".^[5]
