Administrative Order No. 57, April 1, 1963

MODIFYING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 70, DATED OCTOBER 27, 1948, CONCERNING MR. NICOMEDES GARCIA, FORMER JUSTICE OF THE PEACE OF POLILLO, QUEZON.

This is a request for reconsideration of the decision in the administrative case against Mr. Nicomedes Garcia, who was removed as justice of the peace of Polillo, Quezon, for abuse of authority and corruption in office, under Administrative Order No. 70, dated October 27, 1948.

After considering, among other things, the length of time that has elapsed since his dismissal, I believe that the severity of his removal may now be tempered.

WHEREFORE, Administrative Order No. 70, October 27, 1948, is hereby modified in the sense that respondent is considered resigned; without right to any benefits under the law.

Done in the City of Manila, this 1st day of April, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-three.
