LOPEZ, J.:

Enjambre, Jr. In the said Motion, petitioner manifested the following: that it has been nearly two (2) years since he filed his Petition for Review; that the decision to withdraw the Petition for Review was voluntarily and knowingly made by him after a careful consideration of the additional time, effort, and expenses which he (a mere salaried government employee) may have to incur in connection with this case, considering that he has children to support, and that he has fully served the nine (9) month suspension penalty imposed upon him by the Office of the Ombudsman (Visayas); that the withdrawal of this Petition was also made with a view of reconciling with respondent, Loreto C. Powao, in the spirit of forgiveness and Christian brotherhood.
