ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 141 -
RECALLING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 97 DISMISSING VIGOR D. MENDOZA II,
BOARD MEMBER, LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING AND REGULATORY BOARD,
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS, FROM THE SERVICE
On November 23, 1999, this Office issued
Administrative Order (AO) No. 97 dismissing Vigor D. Mendoza as Board
Member, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB),
for having issued a memorandum, under his sole signature, ordering the
respective heads of the LTFRB's Technical and Legal Division to receive
applications for PUB Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) and
setting all pending cases for hearing, notwithstanding the LTFRB's
existing moratorium policy on the matter.
On January 4, 2000, respondent filed a motion for reconsideration.
For its part, the Department of Transportation and Communications
(DOTC), through Secretary Vicente C. Rivera, Jr., sought the recall of
the aforementioned Administrative Order on the ground that respondent
merely acted pursuant to endorsements/recommendations from the DOTC.
Furthermore, it is urged that the issuance of the subject memorandum
did not in any way lift, alter, or change the existing moratorium
policy.
Based on the foregoing representations, it would appear that respondent
acted, under the premises, in good faith and without any dishonest
motive. Accordingly, the finding by the Presidential Commission Against
Graft and Corruption upon which AO No. 97 was principally predicated is
without factual basis.
WHEREFORE, and as recommended by the Department of Transportation and
Communications, Administrative Order No. 97 dated November 23, 1999, is
hereby recalled. Accordingly, VIGOR D. MENDOZA II, shall remain in his
position and shall continue in the exercise of his duties as Board
Member, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.
DONE in the City of Manila,
this 21st day of October, in the year of Our Lord, two thousand.
