Upon consideration of the request of Provincial Treasurer Melanio Honrado of Bohol for the modification of Administrative Order No. 253, dated December 23, 1953, ordering his transfer to another province or position for certain irregularities committed by him, I am satisfied that the decision was rather too severe under the facts and circumstances of the case.

Wherefore, Administrative Order No. 253, dated December 23, 1953, is hereby modified in the sense that Mr. Melanio Honrado is reprimanded, with a warning to be more careful in the discharge of his official duties.

Done in the City of Manila, this 14th day of February, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-four, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the eighth.

(Sgd.) RAMON MAGSAYSAY
President of the Philippines
