Who is a Police Officer?
IOBC 5
A Police Officer – a man

in uniform
The man in uniform

belongs to the elite in public service.
... He is a gentleman. He is given arms
to insure his capability as an instrument
of peace.
…However, when he wavers and fails to

live up to the highest standard of
fidelity to his country and people,
IOBC 6
A Police Officer – a man

in uniform
…He becomes an outlaw and disgrace

to his uniform.
The State has the right to hold him

to account for his transgressions
and to see to it that
he cannot use the awesome powers of
his status to jeopardize the security and
peace of the citizenry.

IOBC 67
Nature of Right to Appeal
Perfection of an appeal within the statutory or

reglementary period is not only mandatory but also
jurisdictional and failure to do so renders the
questioned decision final and executory, and
deprives the appellate court or body of jurisdiction to
alter the final judgment much less to entertain the
appeal. (Republic vs. CA, 313 SCRA 376; Zacate
vs. Comelec, 353 SCRA 441).
IOBC 68
Question
May the complainant appeal from the

decision in an administrative case?

Answer
Being a mere witness for the government,

complainant cannot appeal the decision rendered,
the right to appeal being limited by existing
jurisprudence to the respondent or to the CSC, the
persons considered as parties adversely affected
by the decision. (NAB vs. Mamauag, et al., G.R.
No. 149999, August 12, 2005).
IOBC 70
