SERENO, C.J.
As probation is a mere discretionary grant, petitioner was bound to observe full obedience to the terms and conditions pertaining to the probation order or run the risk of revocation of this privilege.[34] Regrettably, petitioner wasted the opportunity granted him by the RTC to remain outside prison bars, and must now suffer the consequences of his violation.[35] The Court's discretion to grant probation is to be exercised primarily for the benefit of organized society and only incidentally for the benefit of the accused.[36] Having the power to grant probation, it follows that the trial court also has the power to order its revocation in a proper case and under appropriate circumstances.[37]

On 12 November 1999, without waiting for Assistant Secretary Maglaya's comment, respondent again filed an application for leave of absence but for a shorter period from 16 November 1999 until 14 January 2000.[9] Respondent also signified his intention to resign "effective at the close of office hours on 14 January 2000." According to Director Hipolito, he immediately approved respondent's application for leave of absence and resignation and he reiterated said approval in a memorandum[10] dated the same day. In a letter[11] dated 23 November 1999, Director Hipolito also notified Regional Director Jose T. Soria (Atty. Soria) of the Civil Service Commission, Regional Office No. 2 (CSC-RO2) of his acceptance of respondent's resignation.

On 29 October 1995, the Court of Appeals Eighth Division promulgated its decision in C.A. S.P. No. 35550.[11] It dismissed the Petition for Certiorari, ruling that Hon. Toledano did not commit grave abuse of discretion in declaring petitioner in contempt of court and in revoking the order of probation. Soon thereafter, Soriano timely challenged this decision before this Court, via a Petition for Review that was docketed as G.R. No. 123936.
