Nava, who has long-running feud with Mabilog, announced this on Monday, January 27, shortly after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. granted the former mayor’s bid for clemency on the administrative sanctions against him in relation to a graft case. When he returned from self-imposed exile in September 2024, Mabilog posted bail and applied for executive clemency to restore his “rights to vote and be voted upon,” which Marcos granted months later.
“We wish to stress however that when we say the President can grant executive clemency in administrative cases, We refer only to all administrative cases in the Executive branch, not in the Judicial or Legislative branches of the government,” the Supreme Court wrote in its decision on the Llamas vs Orbos case.
“So long as there is already a final determination of administrative liability by the Ombudsman, the President’s grant of clemency to former Iloilo City mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog is legal. The fact that the decision is by the Ombudsman is a non-issue,” the lawyer said.In Mabilog’s case, pending a court decision on his graft case, he has been determined administratively liable by the Ombudsman for his involvement in the towing deal.
