| Being final and unappealable, a judgment of exoneration is not correctible by motion for reconsideration under Section 8[27] of the Procedure in Administrative Cases in the Ombudsman. In Ombudsman v. Alano,[28] we reversed the Ombudsman for entertaining a motion for reconsideration and modifying its earlier judgment absolving respondent Alano of the administrative charge, thus:From the above constitutional and statutory provisions and Rule, there are two instances where a decision, resolution or order of the Ombudsman becomes final and unappealable: (1) where the respondent is absolved of the charge; and (2) in case of conviction, where the penalty imposed is public censure or reprimand, suspension of not more than one month, or a fine equivalent to one month salary. | |||||
