	AM NO. RTJ-06-1970 2006-11-30	ALLAN MACROHON v. JUDGE FRANCISCO B. IBAY YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
It is the Court's duty to root out misconduct among those who are engaged in the dispensation of justice regardless of the parties' desistance.[4] Furthermore, it must be borne in mind that the Court retains its jurisdiction either to pronounce the respondent judge innocent of the charges or declare him guilt thereof. A contrary rule would be fraught with injustice and pregnant with dreadful and dangerous implications. If innocent, respondent judge merits vindication of his name and integrity as he leaves the government which he has served well and faithfully; if guilty, he deserves to receive the corresponding censure and a penalty proper and imposable under the situation.[5]
