    May 29, 2020

    HON. MARCO ANACLETO P. BUENA


    Director IV
    Preliminary Investigation, Administrative Adjudication, and Prosecution Bureau-B
    Office of the Ombudsman
    Matina, Davao City

    Dear Hon. Buena:

    Good day!

    This pertains to the submission of this office’s counter-affidavits on the


    following cases, to wit:

    1. Docket No. OMB-M-A-20-0033. Maria Gertrudes Serrano


    Dedumo et.al. vs. DSWD et.al. for Abuse of Authority;
    Neglect of Duty; Violation of Section 5 (a) of R.A. 6713,
    and;

    2. Docket No. OMB-M-C-20-0018, Maria Gertrudes Serrano


    Dedumo et.al. vs. DSWD et.al. for Malversation of Public
    Funds (Art. 217 of the Revised Penal Code); Violation of
    Sec. 3 (a) and (e) of R.A. 3019; Violation of R.A. 8048. As
    per our Motion for Extension of Time to Submit Counter-
    Affidavit, we are supposed to submit the same not later
    than March 16, 2020.

    Prior to the afore-stated deadline and in response to the President’s


    declaration of a state of health emergency, however, the Department
    (national and regional offices) was directed to focus all its efforts in
    providing essential services to aid in the fast-growing pandemic, holding
    all other matters not related thereto in abeyance.

    Amidst the growing panic and chaos brought about by the COVID-19
    fiasco, this office exhausted all means and endeavored to deliver the
    necessary services to our countrymen as required by its mandate.

    The pandemic notwithstanding, this office still prioritized important
    obligations including, but not limited to, the submission of counter-
    affidavits on the prior stated cases. And in as much as this office would
    want to beat the deadline for the submission, the final documents were
    only completed and signed last 17 March 2020 which is a day after the
    deadline. Incidentally, JRS, which is the official courier of this office,
    already stopped its operations on the same day in response to the ECQ
    limitations.

    Based on the foregoing, we would like to implore the Honorable Office of


    the Ombudsman to consider the acceptance of the Counter-Affidavits of
    the previously stated cases.

    Thank you!

    Very truly yours,

    RAMEL F. JAMEN
    Officer-In-Charge
