In Yasay, Jr. v. Recto,[25] the Court declared: A distinction is made between a civil and [a] criminal contempt.

	GR No. 139844 2000-12-15	ATTY. SALOME D. CAÑAS v. LERIO C. CASTIGADOR YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
...the salutary rule is that the power to punish for contempt must be exercised on the preservative not vindictive principle,[18] and on the corrective not retaliatory idea of punishment.[19] The courts and other tribunals vested with the power of contempt must exercise the power for contempt for purposes that are impersonal, because that power is intended as a safeguard not for the judges as persons but for the functions that they exercise.[20]
