Mayor Tumang vindicated

“He respects the law while exercises his right to defend himself the legal way”
Mexico Mayor Teddy Tumang is a victim as he always had been. He is a favorite of his nemeses, of being harassed and politically distracted. Recently, he has thwarted another (il)legal action against him when the Office of the Ombudsman withdrew the 90-day suspension order issued by the said office. Here is what it’s all about and why.
***
In February 2006, a certain Eduardo Batac and the late Col. Wilfredo Munar filed criminal and administrative cases against Tumang for alleged cases of illegal quarrying on a private farmland, which in fact was not really an act of quarrying. The farmland was a piece of lot made idle by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. It was slightly scraped by a private individual (not Tumang) to remove thereat some volcanic debris. It was a private act of a private person on a private land.
***
Tumang’s legal team were correct in saying that the scraping “did not cause undue injury to the complainant” since the lahar deposits came about as a result of the volcanic eruption. The act in fact is beneficial to the land and the owner of the land as it was reverted from its being idle back to its productive state now suitable for farming. What’s wrong with cleaning one’s own private backyard?
***
On Tumang’s side, he simply invoked the “Aguinaldo Doctrine” which automatically declares moot and academic any administrative case filed against an elected official once the latter has been re-elected into office. Legal authorities sometimes call it the “Doctrine of Condonation” wherein the electorates condone or set aside a previous wrong or any alleged wrong by putting again into office the alleged doer of the wrong. The administrative case and its criminal aspect were filed in 2006 and since then, Tumang has been re-elected twice- in 2007 and in 2010.
***
The case emanated from a doing some years ago. The illegal quarrying issue was not even a case of illegal quarrying. Remember the time of former mayor Ernesto Punzalan who has caused the “scraping” of farmlands? Various tracts of lands were scraped of volcanic materials that rendered the said lots viable now for farming. They were back in their productive state.
***
Tumang averred that the Ombudsman’s order was wrongfully rendered against him. He nevertheless gentlemanly acceded to the suspension order when it was served. He respects the law while exercises his right to defend himself the legal way.
***
The time element of the suspension is likewise suspicious. Although Tumang, a three-termer chief executive, will definitely be not eligible to seek re-election, the repercussion of the suspension from office targets the other Tumang.
***
Architect Alex Tumang is making his bid to replace his brother and continue the programs and projects of the latter in the furtherance of growth and development of the town. He has all the machinery and the winnability by next year’s poll. He has a reputable tract record, thus some people are trying to look for other ways and means to level off his expected win.
***
Going back to the incumbent Tumang, we can say that he was vindicated and vividly proven that he is no sinner to the allegations imputed against his person and against his being the mayor. His possible infraction is the fact that he did his job and he did it well as the sitting municipal mayor of Mexico town. He is workaholic as ever and sees nothing except continuing the extensive growth of his municipality with his pro-development programs.
***
Let’s expect anyhow some more attacks against him, just like on a mango tree which has a lot of fruits to crave for. There are many things imputed against him that merely bounce back to his accusers, who, I believe, are desperate to put a good man in Tumang down.
***
By the way, Mayor Tumang is running for a Provincial Board Member position next year. With what good he has done for his town, I am sure that he can do it,too, in the third district of the province. Tumang saTersera, saan ka pa?
***
Belated Happy Birthday to Atty. Federico “Jun” Tolentino, Jr. He is a practicing lawyer who hails from Guagua, Pampanga but has a heart to all Kapampangans in need for his legal expertise.
