    Concepcion C. Daplas vs. Department of Finance

    The petitioner was found guilty of simple negligence for failing to properly file her statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth (SALN) from 1997 to 2003. The court found no evidence of intent to commit wrongdoing or deceive authorities, as required to warrant dismissal. While failure to file an accurate SALN calls integrity into question, mere non-declaration of required information does not automatically equal dishonesty without evidence of bad faith or intent to conceal.

    CONCEPCION C. DAPLAS vs.

    DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE

    The Court found petitioner GUILTY of SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE in accomplishing her SALN for the years
    1997 to 2003. Records reveal that the element of intent to commit a wrong required under both the
    administrative offenses of Dishonesty and Grave Misconduct are lacking to warrant petitioner's dismissal
    from service.

    The Court finds that there is no substantial evidence of intent to commit a wrong, or to deceive the
    authorities, and conceal the other properties in petitioner's and her husband's names. Petitioner's failure to
    disclose in her 1997 SALN her business interest in KEI is not a sufficient badge of dishonesty in the absence
    of bad faith, or any malicious intent to conceal the truth or to make false statements.

    Indeed, the failure to file a truthful SALN puts in doubt the integrity of the public officer or employee, and
    would normally amount to dishonesty. It should be emphasized, however, that mere non-declaration of the
    required data in the SALN does not automatically amount to such an offense.
