WHEREAS, under Administrative Order No. 185-A, dated July 15, 1952, Provincial Treasurer Ceferino R. Di o of Camarines Norte was considered as having resigned effective as of the date of his suspension on August 11, 1950, by reason of his administrative case, œwithout prejudice to receiving whatever benefits he may be entitled to under the law ;

WHEREAS, Mr. Di o requests, for the reasons stated in his petition, that he be considered as having resigned effective on the date of the issuance of said order, or on July 15, 1952, so as to entitle him to the benefits of the new retirement law (Rep. Act No. 660) which went into effect on June 16, 1951; and

WHEREAS, considering the long service in the Government of Mr. Dino for more than forty years and the absence of any indication that he profited personally from the transactions involved which gave rise to his administrative case, it is believed that he may be given the benefits of Republic Act No. 660;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of the Philippines, do hereby modify Administrative Order No. 185-A, dated July 15, 1952, by considering Mr. Ceferino R. Di o as having resigned effective on July 15, 1952, without prejudice to receiving whatever benefits he may be entitled to under existing laws, but without right to receiving salary during the period of his suspension by reason of his administrative case.

Done in the City of Manila, this 29th day of October, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-two, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the seventh.


By the President:

(Sgd.) MARCIANO ROQUE
