Puentevella received a directive from the Ombudsman calling for the implementation of the suspension but issued a reply that the officials concerned are to be suspended on January 1, 2015, citing the unilateral move as in line with "the spirit of Christmas".

The Ombudsman emphasized on its ruling suspending Puentevella that the earlier suspension order is "immediately effective and executory" and that "there is nothing vague or ambiguous with this wording".
