| This Court cannot tolerate such misconduct on the part of its employees. The reported exchanges between Bunao and Wee in the court premises, and in the presence of Judge Mendrado V. Corpuz and Assistant Prosecutor Alfredo A. Balajo, Jr., is disgraceful behavior. Shouting at each other within the court premises exhibits discourtesy and disrespect not only towards co-workers but to the court as well.[15] The conduct and behavior of every official and employee of an agency involved in the administration of justice, from the presiding judge to the most junior clerk, should be circumscribed with the heavy burden of responsibility. Their conduct must at all times be characterized by strict propriety and decorum so as to earn and keep the public's respect for the judiciary.[16] Any fighting or misunderstanding among court employees becomes a disgraceful sight reflecting adversely on the good image of the judiciary. Professionalism, respect for the rights of others, good manners, and right conduct are expected of all judicial officers and employees.[17] This standard is applied with respect to a court employee's dealings not only with the public but also with his or her co-workers in the service. Conduct violative of this standard quickly and surely corrodes respect for the courts.[18] | |||||

| From the standpoint of conduct and demeanor expected of those who belong to the judicial family, resort to intemperate language only detracts from the respect due those who work in the judiciary and becomes self-destructive.[12] Respondents need to be reminded that government service is people-oriented where high-strung behavior and belligerent attitude cannot be allowed.[13] Patience is an essential part of dispensing justice and courtesy is a mark of culture and good breeding.[14] Belligerent behavior has no place in government service where personnel are enjoined to act with self-restraint and civility at all times even when confronted with rudeness and insolence.[15] Maintaining the dignity of courts and enforcing the duty of the citizens to respect them are necessary adjuncts to the administration of justice.[16] | |||||

| Government service is people-oriented.[18] Patience is an essential part of dispensing justice and courtesy is a mark of culture and good breeding.[19] Belligerent behavior has no place in government service where personnel are enjoined to act with self-restraint and civility at all times even when confronted with rudeness and insolence.[20] | |||||

PER CURIAM |

| His habits have affected his work and rendered him unfit for public service.[20] Self-restraint and civility are expected of civil service employees. Fighting with co-employees during office hours reflects adversely on the image of the judiciary. It discourages respect for the court.[21] | |||||
