Think tank Stratbase ADR Institute, along with other business groups, on Monday expressed concern over an Office of the Ombudsman order to dismiss Manila International Airport Authority chief Cesar Chiong on the basis of an anonymous letter, pointing out the complaint is dubious and that those telling the truth should be more forthcoming about their identities.
Manhit’s call was joined by the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. , Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines , Makati Business Club , IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines , Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation Inc. , Justice Reform Initiative , Integrity Initiative and Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals.
The Ombudsman’s order was triggered by an anonymous complaint after 285 personnel were reassigned by Chiong to improve the efficiency of airport services. Chiong’s petition with the Court of Appeals cited that 646 employees were reassigned by former M/Gen. Jose Angel Honrado , while Eddie Monreal likewise revamped 397 personnel.
