The Danao City Prosecutor’s Office found probable cause to charge Danao City Administrator Jesus “Don” Durano with falsification of documents for allegedly making “untruthful statements” in his Personal Data Sheet (PDS).
The case stemmed from the complaint filed by Jesus’ brother and Vice Mayor Ramon “Nito” Durano III and the Danao City Council against him.
Jesus allegedly provided false details in his PDS, a requirement for his appointment as city administrator. He stated in his data sheet that he was never charged with any criminal offense in court.
The complainants said Jesus was facing charges of grave coercion, obstruction of justice, and resistance and disobedience to a person in authority before the Municipal Trial Court.
Acting Danao City Prosecutor Rodulf Joseph Val Carillo gave Jesus a chance to submit a counter-affidavit to refute the allegations but he did not. Reporter Ador Vincent Mayol
