TL;DR — Ruling
WHEREFORE , on premises considered, the above-entitled complaint is recommended DISMISSED for lack of probable cause. SO RESOLVED. The DOJ Task Force's rationale in dismissing the complaint is that the voluminous records of the case allegedly do not support the theory that Manu owned all of the accounts in question, much less falsified commercial and official documents in claiming insurance deposits.
WHEREFORE , on premises considered, the above-entitled complaint is recommended DISMISSED for lack of probable cause. SO RESOLVED. The DOJ Task Force's rationale in dismissing the complaint is that the voluminous records of the case allegedly do not support the theory that Manu owned all of the accounts in question, much less falsified commercial and official documents in claiming insurance deposits. It found that less than half of the accounts in question were funded by Manu through his RCBC account while the rest were funded by the account holders themselves. PDIC's motion for reconsideration from the January 14, 2014 Resolution was denied through the DOJ Task Force's Resolution [10] dated December 3, 2014. Unperturbed, PDIC interposed a petition for review with the Office of the Secretary of Justice (SOJ). On September 11, 2015, then Undersecretary of Justice Jose F. Justiniano issued a Resolution (Justiniano Resolution) [11] denying PDIC's appeal thusly: WHEREFORE, premises considered, the petition is hereby DENIED. SO ORDERED.
