Mayor Bonafe DeVera Parayno continues to implement preventive suspension upon Poblacion PB Quinto and Kagawad Morillo..

Mangaldan Mayor Bonafe DeVera Parayno in a press conference called today December 8, 2014 at the municipal hall opined that the preventive suspension for 60 days against PB Joselito JOJO Quinto and Barangay Kagawad of Poblacion ,Mangaldan based on the SB REsolution No. 2014-83, September 18, 2014 recommending preventive suspension in Administrative Case No.1-2014 she issued on September 20,2014 still subsists. The Lady Mayor further stated that SB Resolution No.2014-114 "TERMINATING THE HEARING /INVESTIGATION IN ADM CASE NO. 2014-01 ENTITLED MUNICIPALITY OF MANGALDAN REPRESENTED BY HON. MAYOR BONAFE DEVERA-PARAYNO, COMPLAINANT, AGAINST PUNONG BARANGAY JOSELITO G. QUINTO AND BARANGAY KAGAWAD MELINDA P. MORILLO OF BARANGAY POBLACION, RESPONDENTS FOR "GRAVE MISCONDUCT" AND REFERRING THE SAME TO THE REGULAR COURTS FOR RECEPTION OF EVIDENCE did not ipso facto dismiss the case . Despite the existence of the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor Resolution dismissing the complaints for Usurpation of Public Office, Assault upon a Person in Authority and Resisting Arrest for lack of probable cause based on the SB REs. No. 20114-114 and the amateur video presented by respondents, still the Lady mayor believes the respondents would be liable for the same offense if they attempt to report to their respective offices and perform their functions. The Lady Mayor contemplates to file Motion for Reconsideration on the aforementioned dismissed complaints by the PNP Mangaldan. While still contemplating she believes that the resolution of the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor is not binding and has nothing to do with the preventive suspension contrary to the rationale of the OPP resolution dismissing the complaints filed by PNP Mangaldan. 

Meanwhile, PB Joselito JOJO Quinto and Barangay Kagawad Melinda Tonnete Morillo this afternoon December 8, 2014 files complaint for OPPRESSION, PERJURY, UNLAWFUL ARREST, UNLAWFUL DETENTION, GRAVE ABUSE OF AUTHORITY AND GRAVE MISCONDUCT VERSUS MANGALDAN POLICE OFFICERS. Attached herewith is a copy of front page of the complaint filed at the Office of the Ombudsman.

 

PB Quinto of Poblacion Mangaldan Arrested..

There exist a SB REsolution No. 2014-114 signed by SB Members of the Municipality of Mangaldan terminating the investigation in Administrative Case No. 2014-01 entitled Municipality of Mangaldan represented by Hon. Mayor Bonafe DeVera-Parayno complainant against Punong Barangay Joselito Quinto and Brgy Kagawad Melinda Morillo Poblacion for Misconduct . Although there was a preventive suspension imposed against them for a period of 60 days, it has now become moot and academic in view of its termination of the administrative proceedings as pointed out by Atty. Emmanuel B. Cera- legal counsel for the respondents. Hence, both PB Quinto and Brgy Kgd Melinda Morillo reported for office, however, they were prevented from holding office by some policemen and allegedly manhandled by some members of PNP Mangaldan on December 3, 2014 at about 11 in the morning.They are now detained for usurpation of public office and resisting arrest. Subsequently, a letter of Atty Emmanuel Cera was forwarded to Lt. Col Jackie Candelario for their immediate release. They are set for release at around 11 PM December 3, 2014. LT. Col Jackie Candelario is yet to give statements anent this matter. So far there is no violent protest as the case is properly handled by the PNP Mangaldan. (A full video was taken of the alleged arrest of PB Quinto and Brgy Kagawad Morillo.)
