CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
It is indeed a fundamental principle of administrative law that administrative cases are independent from criminal actions for the same act or omission.[29] Thus, an absolution from a criminal charge is not a bar to an administrative prosecution, or vice versa.[30] One thing is administrative liability;[31] quite another thing is the criminal liability for the same act.[32]
