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 equation 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;
