Administrative Order No. 381, December 28, 1961

MODIFYING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 171, DATED DECEMBER 7, 1951, CONCERNING MR. CORNELIO S. RUPERTO, FORMER ASSISTANT FISCAL OF MANILA, BY CONSIDERING HIS SEPARATION AS WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO HIS REINSTATEMENT IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE AT THE INITIATIVE OF THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY

Under Administrative Order No. 171 dated December 7, 1951, Mr. Cornelio S. Ruperto was removed as assistant fiscal of Manila for partiality, favoritism and gross misconduct in misrepresenting facts before a court of justice. Upon his request for reconsideration, the Secretary of Justice recommends modification of the order so as to consider him separated without prejudice to reinstatement.

After considering the period of time that has elapsed since the respondent's separation from the service, I believe that the decision may now be modified insofar as his removal constitutes a bar to his reinstatement in the public service.

Wherefore, and upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Justice, Administrative Order No. 171, dated December 7, 1951, is hereby modified in the sense that Mr. Cornelio Rupertos's removal shall be without prejudice to his reinstatement in the public service at the initiative of the appointing authority.

Done in the City of Manila, this 28th day of December, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-one, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the sixteenth.
