The same offense can't be the subject of all three kinds of remedies (civil, criminal and administrative).

Defeat of any of the three remedies (civil, criminal and administrative) will necessarily preclude resort to other remedies or affect decisions reached thereunder, as different degrees of evidence are required in these several actions.

In criminal cases the accused is entitled to an acquittal, unless his guilt is shown beyond reasonable doubt.

A criminal action requires proof of guilt beyond reasonable doubt while a civil action requires a lesser quantum of proof, that of substantial evidence.

In proceedings before administrative and quasi-judicial agencies, the quantum of evidence required to establish a fact is preponderance of evidence, or that level of relevant evidence which a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to justify a conclusion.

Issues and concerns related to general asset management shall be referred to and resolved by the DBM, while all other cases not covered by the provisions of this Joint Circular and the revised Manual on the Disposal of Government Properties shall be submitted to the COA and the DBM for joint resolution.

The objective in computing the appraised value of the properties for disposal is to set the government's selling price so that the government shall receive fair compensation for the items sold.

Natural and juridical persons, associations, partnerships or corporations with legal and financial capacity and compliant with the prescribed rules and regulations may participate in the sale by public auction.

It is the policy of the Philippine Government, in line with the principle that a public office is a public trust, to repress certain acts of public officers and private persons alike which constitute graft or corrupt practices or which may lead thereto.

This report shall be used to account for all government properties of an entity that are subject to disposal and serves as the basis for derecognizing the government properties carried in the PPE accounts.
