“The Department of the Interior and Local Government would implement the dismissal order once it receives the official copy of the decision from the Office of the Ombudsman,” a statement said. Mabilog has also yet to report back to work at the Iloilo City Hall. The decision made by Ombudsman Prosecution Officer Rachel Cariaga-Favila, was issued on Aug. 29, but a copy of the decision only became available on Thursday. Mabilog, Cariaga-Favila said, failed to prove that the ₱8.98-million increase in his net worth from 2012 to 2013 as indicated in his SALN was not questionable. “Respondent failed to present proof of his wife’s lawful source of income from her employment in Canada for 2013,” Cariaga-Favila said.
