DEL CASTILLO, J. |

| The Court agrees with the CA that the instant Petition presents no opportunity to depart from past pronouncements consistent with law[31] and the rules of procedure[32] of the Office of the Ombudsman that where the respondent is absolved of the charge, and 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, the Ombudsman's decision shall be final, executory, and unappealable.[33] Indeed, in one case, the Court went so far as to declare that in such cases, "it follows that the [Court of Appeals] has no appellate jurisdiction to review, rectify or reverse"[34] the order or decision of the Ombudsman. | |||||
