| Dishonesty is intentionally making a false statement in any material fact.[25] Per the findings of the Ombudsman, there is strong evidence that private respondents made false statements as to the status of the SEF as well as the purchase of speech kits and textbooks. Likewise, a mayor like any other local elective official may be removed from office for dishonesty, oppression, gross negligence or dereliction of duty in accordance with Section 60(c) of the Local Government Code. In regard to respondents Melican and Limos, both are members of the civil service under Section 22, Rule XIV of the Omnibus Rules of Civil Service, dishonesty is a grave offense punishable with dismissal even as a first offense. | |||||

| While we agree with public respondent that factual matters are beyond the province of this Court, a recognized exception to this rule is when there is misapprehension of facts.[37] It must be stressed that petitioners were held liable for falsification and/or dishonesty for allegedly making it appear that the construction of the three-classroom building at the Inaclagan Barangay High School was in accordance with the plans and specifications, although there were substantial deviations in terms of materials, quality of work and construction methods.[38] For petitioner Cruz, signing the Statement of Work Accomplished, despite the fact that the proper methods of construction were not complied with, amounts to dishonesty. On Brucal's part, signing the Statement of Time Elapsed constitutes fraud and dishonesty vis-à-vis the contractor's obligation relative to the plans and specifications as it allowed payment to RAM Builders. Clearly, the petitioners' factual averment that the said statements were signed after corrections were made need to be ascertained to determine their liability on the charge for dishonesty. As defined, dishonesty is intentionally making a false statement in any material fact, or practicing or attempting to practice any deception or fraud in securing his examination, registration, appointment or promotion.[39] Dishonesty is understood to imply a disposition to lie, cheat, deceive, or defraud; untrustworthiness; lack of integrity.[40] | |||||

| "Dishonesty is 'intentionally making a false statement in any material fact, or practicing or attempting to practice any deception or fraud in securing his examination, registration, appointment or promotion.'"[9] Stressing that a false statement in a Personal Data Sheet "amounts to dishonesty," the Court recently echoed this definition in Ratti v. Mendoza-de Castro:[10] | |||||

PER CURIAM |
||||
| With factual basis, we find respondent guilty of dishonesty. Dishonesty is defined as intentionally making a false statement in any material fact, or practicing or attempting to practice any deception or fraud in securing his examination, registration, appointment or registration.[21] In Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation v. Rilloraza,[22] dishonesty was understood to imply a "disposition to lie, cheat, deceive, or defraud; untrustworthiness; lack of integrity." | |||||
