For not replying to request of town dad for a year
oct 20
NABUNTURAN- A local official of the Department of Interior and Local Government here assigned at the municipal hall is facing a resolution in the Sangguniang Bayan declaring him as as persona non grata for not responding to several requests of a councilor for over a year now until at press time.
Councilor Raul Caballero filed last week a resolution declaring municipal local government operations officer of Nabunturan Evan Pascua such for alleged conduct unbecoming as a government officer pursuant to Republic Act No. 6713, otherwise known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.
The resolution is already at that hands of Vice Mayor Romeo Clarin and is expected to be calendared in tomorrow’s SB session.
Caballero charged that on Sept 3, 2007 he requested Pascua for an opinion relevant to the procedure in rendering a committee report but it was not responded.
The councilor questioned as “erroneous” the particular procedure of the Sangguniang Bayan of discussing and approving any committee report without first adopting it.
The practice has been running as a wayward procedure compared to other local sanggunians for 15 years, leaving always having no items in the unassigned business of the day, sources said.
On October 1, 2007 Caballero made a follow up letter reiterating the same. Still Pascua did not reply.
On September 25 this year Caballero sent another letter on the same matter to DILG provincial director Abito Bernasor but his office refused to receive it and instead it was referred to the municipal mayor’s office for the same to be received.
Caballero’s resolution stated that it was more than a year that Pascua “is adamant to answer the request” in alleged violation to the 15-day period provision of RA 6713 for all government officials and employees to act promptly on letters and requests from the public.
“The actuations shown by (Pascua) constituted disrespect and conduct unbecoming of government officer not only to the requisitioning official but to the entire people of Nabunturan,” portion of the letter stated.
Efforts of Sidlak to reach Pascua for comments proved futile. (Cha Monforte/Rural Urban News) http://ruralurbanews.blogspot.com
