| An attorney of record remains as such until he has been properly substituted[10] in accordance with Section 26, Rule 138 of the Rules of Court.[11] Without a valid and effective substitution, the court may not presume that the counsel of record had already been substituted by a second counsel merely from the filing of a formal written appearance by the latter.
