1. That the simultaneous filing of the two (2) administrative cases on February 24, 2016
based on the Preliminary Investigation Report both dated, January 18, 2016 by Atty.

occured on May 19, 2010 for Simple Dishonesty and on January, 2012 to June,
2012 for Violation of Reasonable Office Rules and Regulations is highly
suspicious and purposely done to harass me;
2. That it is of common knowledge that Atty. Felipe M. Magat, Jr. And Atty. James
Deniss C. Gumpal, M.D. are remnants of the administration of the immediate past
Chancellor, Manuel B. Agulto, M.D. and the immediate past Vice-Chancellor for
Planning and Development, Abundio A. Balgos, M.D., M.H.A. who have an axe to
grind and/or grudge with the undersigned respondent;
3. That undersigned respondent honestly believe that he can not get a just and fair trial if
and when the formal investigation will be conducted by the Legal Office of UPManila, thus I formally request that the formal investigation of the administrative
cases against me for Simple Dishonesty and for Violation of Reasonable Office

Capital Region Office and/or the Civil Service Commission Central Office for
proper disposition;
