WHEREAS, on September 19, 1975, some 2,000 officials and employees in the government were ordered separated from the service;

WHEREAS, errors were committed in the assessment and evaluation of some of the cases of said officials and employees;

WHEREAS, to correct such errors, Administrative Order No. 370 dated October 24, 1975 was issued, creating a Committee to take cognizance of petitions for reconsiderations of dismissed officials and employees and to conduct a review of all the cases of these officials and employees;

WHEREAS, upon a careful review of the cases of the dismissed officials and employees and an evaluation of the evidence in support of their dismissal, the Committee found that one official in the Department of Local Government and Community Development deserve to be meted out penalties less than outright dismissal.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order the immediate reinstatement of EXALTACION B. NAZARENO, Economic Researcher of the Department of Local Government and Community Development, provided, however, that during the period from September 19, 1975, up to the date of her reinstatement in accordance with this Order, she shall be considered under suspension without pay.

Done in the City of Manila, this 24th day of Sept., in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-six.


By the President:
