About this document
Provincial Board Members in Nueva Ecija by Paolo Jamer is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The petitioner, a municipal mayor, was charged by the provincial board with usurping judicial functions during his previous term of office. He argued the board had no authority over acts from a prior term. The court found exceptions to exhausting administrative remedies apply when the question is purely legal. Precedent shows charges must be based on grounds for removal under the Code. The key issue is whether an official can be disciplined for acts from a previous term of office.
