The 25-page decision signed by Ombudsman Samuel Martires on Aug. 12 also perpetually disqualified Guo from public office and ordered the forfeiture of all her retirement benefits.
Bamban Vice Mayor Leonardo Asuncion, business permit and licensing officer (BPLO) Edwin Ocampo and municipal legal officer Adenn Sigua were found guilty of conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and suspended for three months.
Also found guilty of conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service were former and incumbent members of the Sangguniang Bayan or municipal council: Johnny Sales, Jayson Galang, Nikko Balilo, Ernesto Salting, Jose Salting Jr., Robin Mangiliman, Jose Aguilar, Mary Andrei Lacsamana and Ranier Rivera.
For those who are no longer in office, the penalty is convertible to a fine equivalent to their salary for three months, which may be deducted from their retirement benefits, accrued leave credits or any receivables from their office.
The ombudsman’s Field Investigation Bureau-Military and Other Law Enforcement Offices has been ordered to implement the dismissal order against Guo and report to the central office within five days regarding the implementation.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) was ordered to look into the possibility of filing appropriate charges against former Bamban mayor Jose Antonio Feliciano, who was not included in the complaint against Guo and the others. The DILG lodged a complaint before the ombudsman last May against Guo and several officials of Bamban.
The complaint stemmed from Guo’s issuance of a business permit to Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) firm Zun Yuan Technology Inc. located inside the eight-hectare property in Bamban owned by Baufo Land Development Inc.
