After a restudy of the administrative case against Mr. Apolinario P. Oriel, former justice of the peace of La Paz, Leyte, I am satisfied that sufficient justification exists for modifying the decision thereon removing him from office. In view thereof, Administrative Order No. 112 dated April 12, 1955, is hereby modified in the sense that the respondent is considered resigned.

Done in the City of Manila, this 11th day of August, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-six, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the eleventh.

(Sgd.) RAMON MAGSAYSAY
President of the Philippines
