[ ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 113, April 16, 1955 ]
MODIFYING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 93 DATED JANUARY 20, 1955, CONCERNING THE CASE OF FORMER GENERAL MANAGER EDUARDO TAYLOR OF THE CEBU PORTLAND CEMENT COMPANY.
WHEREAS, under Administrative Order No. 93 dated January 20, 1955, Mr. Eduardo Taylor, then General Manager of the Cebu Portland Cement Company, was reprimanded and warned for carrying his political conviction beyond proper bounds and for being remiss in the discharge of his duties;
WHEREAS, Mr. Taylor has asked for reconsideration of said Order, and the Secretary of Justice states that the recommendation for reprimand and warning against the former was made on the assumption that he would continue in the service and was intended to serve as a pattern for his future conduct and behavior;
WHEREAS, it appears that Mr. Taylor applied for retirement and his application was approved by the Board of Directors of the company effective at the close of business hours of January 31, 1955, so that it would seem that the purpose of the disciplinary action imposed in Administrative Order No. 98 became academic and would accomplish no useful purpose; and
WHEREAS, it also appears that Mr. Taylor’s service for more than thirty years in said government corporation has been highly satisfactory and that the acts for which he was punished do not adversely reflect on his honesty and integrity;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RAMON MAGSAYSAY, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, and upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Justice, do hereby modify Administrative Order No. 93 dated January 20, 1955, by withdrawing the penalty of reprimand and warning imposed therein on Mr. Eduardo Taylor who is hereby exonerated of the charges against him.£A⩊phi£
Done in the City of Manila, this 16th day of April, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-five, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the ninth.
(Sgd.) RAMON MAGSAYSAY
President of the Philippines
