4. : lawyers of the respondents stressed on the non profits received by the respondent
5. : the governor is extending a very compassionate hand. Let the full hand of the law reach out
the perpetrators
6. : however, since it already reached 9 months before discovery, there must have been negligence
on their part.
7. : the little details that we often neglect because of the simplicity of the task might lead you to
some serious repercussions.
8. :it suggested that a recommendation to the governor must be made so as not to burden any
further for the resolution of the case.

14. Next week, the governor must sign the formal investigation report and the decision.
15. Reservation on the case of mr. luna. (to ante-date it)
16. Good faith is not a defense in negligence- atty. Villarico
17. Miss may had the last clear chance to avoid the inconsistencies (that’s why suspension is 3
months)
18. Inquire with the ombudsman as to where the case was raffled to.
19. Considerations (according to atty. villarico):
a. first time offender
b. work load of miss May
c. limited role of mr. actub (although according to maam PA, mr actub being a division
head, he must have knowledge of the inconsistencies)
d. present everyday in work, tantamount to the absence of neglect of work.
e. the target was almost attained so they were confident that the system was observed
f. the prosecution did not prove satisfactorily that the respondents are grossly negligent
