	AC. No. 9608 2012-11-27	MARIA VICTORIA B. VENTURA v. ATTY. DANILO S. SAMSON PER CURIAM
In Cordova v.

	AC. NO. 7214 2006-11-30	AILEEN A. FERANCULLO v. ATTY. SANCHO M. FERANCULLO
The penalty for maintaining an illicit relationship may either be suspension or disbarment, depending on the circumstances of the case. In case of suspension, the period would range from one year[51] to indefinite suspension, as in the case of Cordova v. Cordova,[52] where the lawyer was found to have maintained an adulterous relationship for two years and refused to support his family.
	AC. NO. 2474 2005-06-30	EDUARDO M. COJUANGCO v. ATTY. LEO J. PALMA PER CURIAM
The undeniable truth is that respondent married Lisa while his marriage with Elizabeth Hermosisima was still subsisting. Such act constitutes grossly immoral conduct, a ground for disbarment under Section 27, Rule 138 of the Revised Rules of Court. Obviously, he exhibited a deplorable lack of that degree of morality required of him as a member of the Bar. He made a mockery of marriage, a sacred institution demanding respect and dignity. In Cordova vs. Cordova,[23] we held that "The moral delinquency that affects the fitness of a member of the bar to continue as such includes conduct that outrages the generally accepted moral standards of the community, conduct for instance, which makes a mockery of the inviolable social institution of marriage."
