Again, we reiterate the principle that decision-making is the most important of all judicial functions and responsibilities.[19] In this area, Presiding Justice Francis E. Garchitorena, as the ponente assigned to the cases submitted for decision/resolution long ago, some as neglect of duty and inefficiency.[20]

Administrative sanctions must be imposed. "Mora reprobatur in lege."[74] Again, we reiterate the principle that decision-making is the most important of all judicial functions and responsibilities.[75] In this area, Presiding Justice Francis E. Garchitorena, as the ponente assigned to the cases submitted for decision/resolution long ago, some as far back as more than ten (10) years ago, has been remiss constituting gross neglect of duty and inefficiency.[76] As we said in Canson,[77] unreasonable delay of a judge in resolving a case amounts to a denial of justice, bringing the Sandiganbayan into disrepute, eroding the public faith and confidence in the judiciary.[78]
