Former Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes will appeal to the Court of Appeals after the Ombudsman dismissed his reconsideration request on a one-year suspension case for an allegedly unauthorized appointment. The Ombudsman later disqualified Cortes permanently, citing other violations, but he argues that the Civil Service Commission should handle such personnel issues. Cortes, who claims political motivations behind his charges, seeks to overturn these rulings.
