00:00The Office of the Ombudsman dismisses the criminal and administrative cases against
00:05former Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña, filed by retired police colonel Roina Garma in 2018.
00:12Garma was the director of the Cebu City Police Office at the time.
00:15She filed a case for grave misconduct against Osmeña, alleging the former mayor intervened
00:20in the arrest of three men.
00:22The Ombudsman ruled on February 29, Osmeña was guilty of grave misconduct.
00:27But since he was no longer a government official, Osmeña was then ordered to pay a fine amounting
00:32to his basic salary for one year when he was the mayor.
00:35But in the reversal of the ruling dated July 10, 2024, the Ombudsman says Garma failed
00:40to prove that Osmeña facilitated the escape of the three men.
00:44Osmeña blamed Garma for the riots and killings in the city when he was mayor.
