IMMEDIATE IMPLEMENTATION OF DECISIONS, ORDERS OR RESOLUTIONS ISSUED BY THE OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN IN ADMINISTRATIVE DISCIPLINARY CASES



Section 7 Rule III of Administrative Order No. 07, otherwise known as, the “Ombudsman Rules of Procedure” provides that: “A decision of the Office of the Ombudsman in administrative cases shall be executed as a matter of course.”

In order that the foregoing rule may be strictly observed, all concerned are hereby enjoined to implement all Ombudsman decisions, orders or resolutions in administrative disciplinary cases, immediately upon receipt thereof by their respective offices.

The filing of a motion for reconsideration or a petition for review before the Office of the Ombudsman does not operate to stay the immediate implementation of the foregoing Ombudsman decision, orders or resolutions.

Only a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) or a Writ of Preliminary Injunction, duly issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, stays the immediate implementation of the said Ombudsman decisions, orders or resolutions.

This Circular takes effect immediately.

Adopted: 11 April 2006
