Whereas, after careful review of the record in the abovementioned case it has been found:
That Carlos B. Lanuza while acting as justice of the peace of Ramos, Tarlac, collected his salary for the months of November and December, nineteen hundred and thirty-five, by falsifying his service report, making it appear that he was present in office during those months;
That from November, nineteen hundred and thirty-five, up to the present said Carlos B. Lanuza has completely abandoned his office to the prejudice of the public service; and
That he is now facing trial for two criminal complaints, one for illegal possession and use of counterfeit money and the other for abandonment of office;
Now, therefore, I, Manuel L. Quezon, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers in me vested by law and upon the recommendation of the provincial fiscal of Tarlac, concurred in by the Judge of the Court of First Instance of said province and the Secretary of Justice, hereby resolve to discharge, as I hereby discharge, Carlos B. Lanuza from his position as auxiliary justice of the peace of Ramos, Tarlac, and under the provisions of section two hundred twenty-nine of the Revised Administrative Code disqualify him from holding any public office.
Done at the City of Manila, this fifteenth day of February, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-six, and of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, the first.
