A COMPLAINANT of a case against lambasted the motion for reconsideration filed by dismissed Camp Alagar police officers and called the motion a “blatant case of perjury.”
Lawyer Ernie Palanan, the complainant of the serious dishonesty and grave misconduct filed against dismissed Supt. Michael John Q. Deloso and PO3 Ernesto B. Galleto of Police Regional Office – 10, said the motion filed by Deloso and Galleto only highlighted their failure to answer the criminal and administrative culpability despite a decision from the Office of the Deputy Ombudsman for the Military and Other Law Enforcement Officers.
“Under the rule, a motion for reconsideration may only be entertained if filed within 10 days from receipt of the decision. They want to impregnate with utter lies, this honorable office (Ombudsman) that the same was filed based on the aforementioned rule,” Palanan said.
Deloso and Galleto received the Ombudsman’s order last May 10, he added.
“The motion is simply an afterthought for the Deloso and Galleto to extricate themselves from this legal sink hole; a clear fishing expedition in a different waters, all precisely directed to gain a favorable ruling,” said Palanan.
He said they can even be charged for a forum shopping of the first kind.
He added that as a general rule, a motion for reconsideration must first be filed with the lower court prior to resorting to the extra ordinary remedy of certiorari or prohibition since a motion for reconsideration may still be considered as a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law.
