An administrative charge is being readied against Yu, before the Provost Marshall and to the Army Inspector General, Pascual said.
"Parang ganun ang lumalabas, eh pinapayagan ni Yu, ipinagagamit ni Yu 'yung mga expired antibiotics sa mga inooperang mga sundalo sa AGH, tapos nga pinepeke 'yung mga resibo sa mga deliveries ng supplies na mga gamit ng hospital," Pascual said.
Yu was the third ranking official of the AFP who have been charged before the Ombudsman.
Yu is currently being scrutinized by the Army Efficiently and Separation Board, Pascual said.
Yu is also being investigated for his alleged involvement in the purchase of overpriced medicines intended for Army troopers and their dependents.

Several Army personnel and hospital staff have filed formal complaints against Yu with regard to the anomalous transactions at the FBGH.
Pascual also said that the Army Inspector General also recommended the removal from their position those who filed the complaint against Yu to pave the way for an impartial investigation on the case.
