The Civil Service Commission has ruled that four executive assistants of Silay Mayor Carlo Gamban are not qualified for their positions under contractual status and therefore their appointments are invalidated.

CCS Iloilo Director IV Imelda Abueg in a four-page decision furnished the DAILY STAR by Silay Councilor Ignacio Salmingo ruled that Executive Assistant V positions to which Raul Belleza, Jose Antonio Velez, Jorge Gamboa and Roberto Gallego were appointed on Jan. 1, 2005 under contractual status are considered as non-career positions.

She also ruled that Velez and Gamboa are not qualified to the position of executive assistants V and thus their appointments should be invalidated.

Silay City Administrator Rodney Rubica said the city government will file a motion for reconsideration, pointing out that the work of the executive assistants in question is highly confidential.

Abueg, in her ruling, said Director Ramund Gonzales of the CCS Negros Occidental Field Office on Nov. 24, 2005 had already invalidated the appointment of Belleza and Gellego since they were not educationally qualified, thus she focused her evaluation of the qualifications of Velez and Gamboa.

She said Velez and Gamboa did not meet the training requirement for their posts and thus are not qualified.*CPG
