RESOLUTION
This resolves the Motion for Reconsideration (MR) filed by PO1 Arnie O
Dollosa (Movant), assailing the Decision of the Regional Director, PRO 3 dated May
17, 2017, the dispositive portion of which states:
Records show that movant while assigned at the Macabebe Municipal Police
Station, Pampanga Police Provincial Office, failed to report for duty from June 24,
2015 to July 24, 2015, or for a total period of Thirty One (31) days. He was
charged, found guilty and meted the penalty of Dismissal from the service. Hence,
this MR raising the following grounds:
In his MR, movant alleged that during his absences, his mother, Marcelina
Dollosa, who was then suffering from serious illnesses: Upper Gastrointestinal Bleed
Secondary to Esophageal Varices; Congestive Gastropathy; and Decompensated
Liver Cirrhossis, was confined at Dr. Pablo Torre Memorial Hospital, Bacolod City. It
is for this reason that movant failed to report for duty because he has to look after his
sick mother and to provide for her financial needs.
The illness of his mother is not a valid ground to totally justify his absences
and to exculpate him of any administrative liability considering that he had all the
time and opportunity to inform his superior officer or his unit of his predicament
through any means of communication to avoid being on AWOL.
Had the movant initially inform his superior officer or his unit of his
predicament, he could have avoided being marked on AWOL and subsequently
charged administratively. The reason for being on AWOL may be valid, but what is
being punished was his negligence or failure to inform his employer of such
predicament which could have been a substitute for a prior leave application. Movant
failed in this aspect.
SO RESOLVED.
