ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 249-A -
AMENDING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER 249 SERIES OF 1996, BY REDUCING THE
PENALTIES IMPOSED ON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ELSA BAYANI AND DEPUTY
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ASUNCION MACALALAG FROM NINE (9) MONTHS SUSPENSION
TO ONE (1) MONTH SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY
This is a resolution of the motion filed by
Executive Director Elsa Bayani and Deputy Executive Director Asuncion
Macalalag, officials of the National Nutrition Council, seeking the
reconsideration of Administrative Order No. 249, dated 2 February 1996,
which declared them guilty of the following offenses:
a.
b.
c.
and imposed on each of them the penalty of suspension for nine (9)
months without pay.
After a thorough review of the records in the instant case, this Office
finds that while the respondents failed to strictly adhere to the
applicable laws and regulations, there was, however, substantial
compliance thereto. In addition, we acknowledge that except for this
case, the long government service of the respondents has not,
heretofore, been tainted with any anomaly or wrongdoing.
In view of the foregoing, this Office hereby modifies its earlier
decision by reducing the penalty imposed upon each of them by AO 249,
series of 1996, from nine (9) months suspension to thirty (30) days
suspension without pay. Respondents are cautioned that a repetition of
their infractions, or the commission of acts similar thereto, will be
dealt with more severely. Commensurate to the positions they occupy,
respondents are at all times, expected to be precise and diligent in
the exercise of their duties and functions. Nothing less will satisfy
the stringent requirements of our laws on disbursement and accounting
of public funds.
DONE in the City of Manila,
this 16th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
ninety-six.
