PERLAS-BERNABE, J.
Pursuant to the doctrine of immutability of judgment, which states that "a decision that has acquired finality becomes immutable and unalterable, and may no longer be modified in any respect, even if the modification is meant to correct erroneous conclusions of fact and law,"[18] Ampong could no longer seek the August 26, 2008 Decision's modification and reversal. Consequently, the penalty of dismissal from service on account of Ampong's Dishonesty should be enforced in its full course. In line with Section 58(a)[19] of the Uniform Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (URACCS), the penalty of dismissal carries with it the following administrative disabilities: (a) cancellation of civil service eligibility; (b) forfeiture of retirement benefits; and (c) perpetual disqualification from re-employment in any government agency or instrumentality, including any government-owned and controlled corporation or government financial institution. Ampong should be made to similarly suffer the same.
