Question 14
14. Lorenzo was re-elected as Mayor of Roxas City for his third consecutive term in
the 2022 local elections. In 2023, Lorenzo was administratively charged before
the Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) for acts committed during his second term.
Lorenzo moved to dismiss the complaint before the OMB on the ground that his
re-election to a third term effectively exonerated him from the administrative
charge pursuant to the condonation doctrine. Is Lorenzo correct? Explain
briefly.
