LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS NO. 14-A
TO :
All Heads of Departments, Agencies and Offices of the Government
Letter of Instruction No. 14, dated September 29, 1972, is hereby
amended as follows:
"In
order to facilitate the reorganization of the Government and to speed
up the current intensified effort to weed out undesirable government
officials and employees, you are hereby directed to require all
officials and employees in your department, office or agency, who are
facing administrative charges, or who are notoriously undesirable on
the ground of dishonesty, incompetence or other kinds of misconduct
defined in the Civil Service Law or rules, or have been repeatedly
charged, to render their resignations within one week after the
publication of this Order in your department, office or
agency."
This Order must be published immediately in your office.
"Should
the officers or employees concerned fail or refuse to resign within the
one-week period prescribed in the foregoing paragraph, they shall be
suspended immediately until their cases are disposed of, as
follows:
"1. For those
actually facing administrative charges, if after preliminary inquiry
into the same, the head of department, office or agency is convinced
that the evidence of guilt against the respondent or respondents is
strong, he shall dismiss or consider them resigned or otherwise
separated from the service, or impose the proper penalty prescribed of
the offense.
"2. In the
case of an officer of employee who is notoriously undesirable, or has
been repeatedly charged administratively but has for any reason escaped
disciplinary action, the head of department, office or agency shall
take notice of such notoriety and, without the necessity of filing
charges, shall summarily dismiss or otherwise terminate the services of
the respondent official or employee.
"The heads of departments,
offices and other agencies of the government shall determine if the
officials and employees who voluntarily resign in obedience to this
Order shall enjoy any of the benefits granted by law to retiring
officials and employees.
"The heads of departments,
offices or other agencies of the Government shall report to the
President within fifteen (15) days from the date of issue of this Order
the names of the officials and employees who have rendered their
resignations, have been charged and suspended or dismissed or otherwise
meted a disciplinary penalty in accordance with this Order.
Strict
compliance with this Letter of Instruction is desired."
DONE in the City of Manila, this 29th day of September, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-two.
