Issue Whether or not EO 264 is exclusively applicable to administrative charges and not to criminal complaints
Held/Ruling
Petition dismissed.
Ratio: The title of the EO 264 is of “Commission of Irregularities”. It speaks of commission of irregularities
and not criminal offenses. Had the order intended to make it applicable thereto, it could have been
referred to the more specific terms like “accused,” “convicted,” and the like.
Executive Order No. 264, "OUTLINING THE PROCEDUE BY WHICH COMPLAINANTS CHARGING
Supplemental Notes GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES WITH COMMISSION OF IRREGULARITIES SHOULD BE GUIDED,"
