Ex-Compostela Valley mayor guilty of misconduct
11 January 2016

The Office of the Ombudsman found former Mayor Juan Cipriano Celso Sarenas of Pantukan, Compostela Valley guilty of Simple Misconduct and was ordered to pay a fine equivalent to two months’ salary payable to the national treasury.

 In its Decision, it was found that Sarenas failed to divest of his business interest in Quasar Mining Corporation. The Ombudsman explained that “prior to 2010 Sarenas, for all intents and purposes, is the owner of 7,500 shares of Quasar Mining Corporation.”  Under the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, Sarenas should have divested his shareholdings within 60 days from assumption of office.   

 According to the Ombudsman, “in this case, as respondent Sarenas is the local chief executive of Pantukan, his position and interest in Quasar Mining Corporation is opposed to or affected by the faithful performance of his official duty.”   It added that “considering there is a conflict of interest, Sarenas resigned from the position in the corporation but failed to divest his shareholdings.” 

 The Municipal Treasurer of Pantukan was directed to submit respondent’s compliance with respect to the penalty imposed.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
