(G.R. No. L-11959 ,October 31, 1959)Petitioner-appellant Arturo B. Pascual had been elected mayor of San Jose, Nueva Ecija, in November 1951 and reelected in 1955. In October 6, 1956, the Acting Provincial Governor of that province filed with the Provincial Board three administrative charges against the said appellant. After the presentation of evidence regarding the first two charges, petitioner-appellant filed with the respondent-appellee, the Provincial Board, a motion to dismiss the third charge above referred to, on the main ground that the wrongful acts therein alleged had been committed during his previous term of office and could not constitute a ground for disciplining him during his second term.

Is this contention correct? Explain.
