SANDOVAL GUTIERREZ, J. |

| According to Atty. Belaro, he received a copy of the facsimile transmission only at 7:00 p.m. of August 21, 1997 after the proceedings. It appears that it was his secretary who received the notice one (1) day earlier. That she failed to inform him immediately is not our concern. Following this Court's ruling in Gutierrez v. Zulueta,[5] negligence of a counsel's secretary is tantamount to negligence of counsel. | |||||
