Office of the Ombudsman in administrative cases shall be executed as a
matter of course.”
In order that the foregoing rule may be strictly observed, all
concerned are hereby enjoined to implement all Ombudsman decisions,
orders or resolutions in administrative disciplinary cases, immediately
upon receipt thereof by their respective offices.
The filing of a motion for reconsideration or a petition for review
before the Office of the Ombudsman does not operate to stay the
immediate implementation of the foregoing Ombudsman decision, orders or
resolutions.

Injunction, duly issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, stays the
immediate implementation of the said Ombudsman decisions, orders or
resolutions.
This Circular takes effect immediately.
