PCUP Chair Exonerated
In a resolution dated 04 October 2006, the Office of the President dismissed the complaint of anomalous solicitations and failure to observe rules of accounting and disbursements of public funds against Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor Chair and CEO Percival C. Chavez.
The Office of the President agreed with the findings and recommendation of the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission to dismiss the complaint filed by fellow PCUP Commissioner Mohamad Isa Perfecto Vergel de Dios for his failure to substantiate his allegations against Chavez.
"Mere allegation is neither equivalent to proof nor evidence," the Office of the President said. "Absent, as here, of relevant and competent incriminating evidence, respondent Chavez is entitled to presumption of regularity in the performance of his official functions."
Chavez feels vindicated by the resolution and vows to continue his untiring service to the urban poor sector of this country.
