| After considering the records and the investigations conducted on the matter, we find that Ledesma failed to meet the requirement expected of her as a Clerk of Court. Section 7 of Rule 136 of the Rules of Court is explicit that the clerk shall safely keep all records, papers, files, exhibits, and public property committed to her charge.[26] The Office of the Clerk of Court performs a very delicate function, having control and management of all court records, exhibits, documents, properties and supplies.[27] Being the custodian thereof, the clerk of court is liable for any loss, shortage, destruction or impairment of said funds and properties.[28] | |||||
