Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Cesar Chiong announced on Tuesday that he was put under preventive suspension due to a complaint alleging he committed grave abuse of his authority.
In a statement, Chiong said he received the preventive suspension order, dated April 28, 2023, from the Ombudsman.
Based on the Ombudsman’s order, Chiong along with MIAA Acting Assistant General Manager Irene Montalbo were placed under preventive suspension for alleged grave abuse of authority and grave misconduct. The Ombudsman also said that sworn statements from reassigned employees revealed that they were neither informed of the reason for their reassignment nor did they have pending administrative complaints.
"Considering further that respondents continued stay in the office may influence potential witnesses and may prejudice the case filed against them due to their continued access to documentary evidence relative thereto, this Office exercises its power to place respondents under preventive suspension,” added the Ombudsman.
