	GR No. 179261 2008-04-18	OMBUDSMAN v. BEATRIZ S. PELIÑO YNARES-SATIAGO, J.
Preventive suspension is merely a preventive measure, a preliminary step in an administrative investigation; the purpose thereof is to prevent the accused from using his position and the powers and prerogatives of his office to influence potential witnesses or tamper with records which may be vital in the prosecution of the case against him.[24] The case having been submitted for resolution, there is no more need for preventively suspending PELIÑO.
	GR No. 180700 2008-03-04	VILLASEÑOR AND MESA v. SANDIGANBAYAN ET AL. REYES, R.T., J.
The Court's discussion in Quimbo v. Gervacio[30] is enlightening:Jurisprudential law establishes a clear-cut distinction between suspension as preventive measure and suspension as penalty. The distinction, by considering the purpose aspect of the suspensions, is readily cognizable as they have different ends sought to be achieved.
