DEPARTMENT of Community and Cultural Affairs Secretary Melvin L.O. Faisao is opposing the Superior Court order that he reinstates a juvenile corrections worker.

Faisao fired Kapileo on Oct. 5, 2011, saying she failed to perform her duties and responsibilities.
She then sued Faisao and Gov. Benigno R. Fitial, who approved her firing, for unlawful suspension and termination, violation of employment contract, and violation of U.S. constitutional due process protections. She asked the court to set aside her suspension and termination and declare DCCA’s action as unlawful.
Last month, Judge David Wiseman ordered the immediate reinstatement of Kapileo, saying the juvenile corrections worker was not provided with a hearing prior to her termination.
But Faisao said, “I respectfully disagree with this latest court order.” He said a child was sexually assaulted under Kapileo’s watch.
“We felt that the government’s interest in protecting the children in the shelter outweighs Ms. Kapileo’s interest in receiving a paycheck. Obviously the court did not see it this way. We fully intend to prove the allegations at trial,” he added.

BTW what ever happen in regards to that scumbag. Last I heard his sentencing had been continued many times.
The article states there was a sexual assault occurring under her watch. How is she involved, Emmanuel, you need to provide more information for us readers, rather than letting us hanging.
I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THAT MRS. KAPILEO IS A HARD WORKER AND THAT YOUR NOT. YOU SEAT AND CHEW BETELNUT THE WHOLE DAY AND PLAY SPIDER SOLITAIRE, AND ALL DCCA EMPLOYEES WORK HARD AND IN THE END YOU TRYING TO GAIN ALL THE CREDITS OF THEIR HARD WORK.... SIMPLE AS THAT MELVIN.... SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR ALL THAT WHEN YOU ARE NOT..... THE ONE THING YOUR GOOD AT IS BETELNUT CHEWING 101.... NO ONE CAN TOP YOU ON THIS SPECIALTIES.... GIVE THELMA BACK HER JOB SO SHE CAN MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD FOR FUTURE REFERENCES...
So what about the Kagman Youth Detention where the female youth offender was raped repeatedly by the guards. Maybe the problem is Faisao is a danger to the female employees of the government. He sexually advanced a former employee who later transferred. Judge should throw faisao in jail for contempt.
no wonder he's also corrupted as his uncle, they're all from the same family. Similarities of the gov and faisao - greed, corrupted, liars, selfish, dishonest, and so on.
