'Condonation doctrine' not applicable to officials elected on or after April 12, 2016

The “condonation doctrine” which used to extinguish the administrative liability of an elective public official once re-elected to the same post, can no longer be availed of by officials who were re-elected on or after April 12, 2016.The Supreme Court , in decision released recently, said the doctrine was abandoned in 2016 with a ruling that its implementation is prospective or enforceable upon the finality of the decision.

Both father and son were found administratively liable and were ordered dismissed from the service by the Office of the Ombudsman in 2016. Lucio won in the 2015 recall elections in Puerto Princesa and he was re-elected mayor in the May 2016 local elections.
