In a statement, CHED Chairman J. Prospero de Vera III confirmed that former CHED Executive Director Julito Vitriolo was dismissed by the Ombudsman on December 16, 2019.“The Ombudsman approved the decision which finds Vitriolo liable for conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and simple misconduct,” he said. “There is also an accessory penalty for Vitriolo to be no longer employed in government service,” he added.
CHED noted that Vitriolo was previously dismissed on December 2016 by former Ombudsman Conchita Morales based on the “alleged irregularities” at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila . “Despite the pendency of the said case, a dismissal order of OMB is immediately executory,” de Vera said. “CHED will implement this recent OMB case and dismiss Vitriolo anew from government service,” he added.
De Vera cited that the CHED signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ombudsman and the University of the Philippines recently to “aggressively promote ethics and accountability in higher education institutions .”
