Ex-CDO mayor to face charges

The Office of the Ombudsman has found ground to charge former Cagayan de Oro City mayor Vicente Emano before the Sandiganbayan after he allegedly willfully refused to restore an administrative assistant whose transfer to the city library resulted in the diminution of her rank or status.

Based on a statement by the office, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) had ruled that Administrative Assistant III Leonor Esparcia should be restored to her original position after she challenged her transfer to the city library as watchman.
