ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 4 -
DROPPING MS. MARIVIC V. BONITA FROM THE ROLLS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
This refers to the case of Ms. Marivic V.
Bonita, Foreign Service Officer, Class II, who has been absent without
leave (AWOL) from the Department of Foreign Affairs since 17 March
1997.
Ms. Bonita's official tour of duty at the Philippine Consulate-General
in Agana ended on 05 August 1996 under DFA Administrative Order No.
359-96 dated 20 May 1997. While still in Guam, however, she applied for
and was granted a leave of absence for medical reasons during the
period 30 September 1996-14 March 1997, or a total of 116 working days.
She was obliged to work on 17 March 1997 but failed to do so.
Consequently, on 25 March 1997, Ms. Bonita was given a warning by the
Department on her AWOL status and was directed to report to work within
five (5) days from receipt of said notice.
On 09 April 1997, Ms. Bonita conveyed to the Department her regret for
failing to comply with the order to report for work and her intention
to resign from government service due to disability. Upon her request,
the Department advised her on 14 April 1997 on the steps involved in
the process of resignation from the service. No Further word was
received from Ms. Bonita until she appeared in person in the Department
on 10 July 1997 to express her intention to report for work beginning
01 August 1997. She belatedly filed vacation and sick leave
applications covering the period 17 March to 31 July 1997, approval of
which was held in abeyance pending submission of written explanations
on her failure to comply with the Department's return-to-work order, on
her absences without an approved leave from 17 March 1997 to 10 July
1997 (a total of 116 calendar days) and on her continued failure to
settle several outstanding debts she incurred in Guam.
In a memorandum dated 06 August 1996, Ms. Bonita informed the
Department that she would submit her explanation on 07 August 1997 to
date (24 March 1998), therefore, her absences without an approved leave
total 363 calendar days.
WHEREFORE, in accordance with Civil Service Memorandum Circular No. 12,
series of 1994, which states that:
"a.
"b.
This Office hereby orders that Ms. Marivic V. Bonita be DROPPED FROM THE ROLLS of the Department of Foreign Affairs, effective immediately.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hands and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippine to be affixed.
Done in the City of Manila, this 9th day of July, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and ninety eight.
