                    [Summary] => Ombudsman Simeon Marcelo yesterday dismissed from the service an examiner of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) who failed to justify how he acquired properties way above his lawful income.


In a 12-page order, Marcelo denied the motion for reconsideration of lawyer-accountant Arnel Bernardo, upholding his April 21 ruling.


In the appealed decision, Marcelo ordered Bernardo dismissed from the service, forfeited his retirement benefits and disqualified him from holding public office.
