	GR No. 175977 2013-08-19	HADJI PANGSAYAN T. ABDULRAHMAN v. OFFICE OF OMBUDSMAN FOR MINDANAO SERENO, C.J.
In Ledesma v. Court of Appeals[51] and subsequent cases,[52] this Court has already made the pronouncement that the power of the Ombudsman to impose administrative liability is not merely advisory, but actually mandatory in nature. However, this power is shared with the head of office or any other officer concerned.[53] Thus, when Section 13(3) of Article XI[54] of the Constitution and Section 15(3)[55] of Republic Act No. 6770 (The Ombudsman Act of 1989) uses the word "recommend" in connection with the action to be taken against an erring government employee, the intention is to course the implementation through the proper officer.[56]
