This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2012-09-11
LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
In essence, the Movants Federico Pascual, et al. are asking this Court to reconsider our Decision in so far as their liability, as the payees, to return the benefits they had already received, by applying our rulings in Molen, Jr. v. Commission on Audit,[1] De Jesus v. Commission on Audit,[2] Magno v. Commission on Audit,[3] Baybay Water District v. Commission on Audit,[4] Barbo v. Commission on Audit,[5] Bases Conversion and Development Authority v. Commission on Audit,[6] among others, wherein, despite this Court's disapproval of the allowances and/or benefits the payees therein received, for being contrary to the law applicable in those cases, this Court did not require such payees to refund the monies they had received in good faith. On April 11, 2012, the public respondents, through the Office of the Solicitor General, commented and agreed with the Movants Federico Pascual, et al. that it would be an injustice if they were ordered to refund the retirement benefits they had received more than a decade ago.
