| As regards the alleged participation of Atty. Manuel in the "settlement package" theory of Rodica, suffice it to say that Atty. Manuel has in his favor "the presumption that, as an officer of the court, he regularly performs the duties imposed upon him by his oath as a lawyer and by the Code of Professional Responsibility."[25] Hence, absent any competent evidence to the contrary, Atty. Manuel, as Strong's counsel, is presumed to have worked out the release and subsequent deportation of his client in accordance with the proper procedures. | |||||
