MOTION FOR EARLY RESOLUTION

& MANIFESTATION

Complainant, by herself, unto this Honorable Office, most

respectfully state:

1. The preliminary investigation reports of the above cases were

submitted by the Division of City Schools, Quezon City to the
Office of the Regional Director on January 2, 2014 and February 3,
2014, respectively;
2. That up to this date the undersigned has not yet received any
resolution or decision from the DepEd NCR;
3. That the above respondent is due to retire on June 10, 2014 and is
thus praying that the above case be resolved at the soonest time so
that she may at least clear herself and be able to enjoy the fruits of
her labor in the public service;
 4. That under R.A. 10154 particularly Section 3 thereof,;
Section 3. Retiring Employees With Pending Cases, - In the
case of retiring government employees with pending cases
and whose retirement benefits are being lawfully withheld
due to possible pecuniary liability, the head of the agency
where such case is pending shall ensure that the said case
shall be terminated and/or resolved within a period of three
(3) months from the date of the retirement of the
concerned, employee: Provided, That in case the concerned
agency fails to terminate and/or resolve the case within the
said period without any justifiable reason(s), the retirement
benefits -due to the employee shall: be immediately
released to him/her without prejudice to the ultimate
resolution of the case; except, when the delay is
deliberately caused by the retiring employee. (emphasis
supplied)

5. That because of the foregoing provision, respondent prays that she

be allowed to process her retirement despite the pendency of the
above captioned case since she has not yet been formally charged
in either case and she is confident that the cases against her will
dismissed, both being election-related offenses;

P R AYE R
WHEREFORE, in view of all the foregoing, it is most respectfully
prayed of this Honorable Office to DECIDE the above-entitled case in the
favor of the respondent in the soonest possible time considering that she is
retiring soon, that her case be resolved all in interest of justice. It is likewise
prayed of this Office to issue an order allowing the respondent to process her
retirement in view of the unequivocal provisions of R.A. 10154.
