(p. 111, Rollo)

Upon receipt, petitioner immediately proceeded to the Office of Ombudsman, Manila to secure the corresponding clearance as mandated in the February 13, 1997 Decision. Petitioner, however, was informed that the clearance can not be issued due to the fact that the decretal portion of the February 13, 1997 Decision failed to mention 4 cases which were also subject of the petition for mandamus, namely, MIN-90-0185, MIN-90-0193, MIN-90-0186, and MIN-90-0187. Petitioner was likewise advised by the Office of the Ombudsman to file the corresponding manifestation before this Court for clarification of the decretal portion of the February 13, 1997 Decision to include the said 4 cases.chanrobles.com : virtual lawlibrary
