Summary

This resolution authorizes the Naga City Mayor and City Legal Officer to formally notify the City Prosecution Office and the Regional Trial Court (Branch 23) that the City Government will no longer pursue its case against Rowena Delos Santos. It permits the city to request a prosecutorial reassessment and submit new legal and evidentiary re-evaluations, while fully deferring to the independent judgment and authority of the prosecutor and the court. This decision stems from a re-evaluation undertaken after the court revived the proceedings and reviewed evidence from the trial of a co-accused individual.
