REGIDOR GUTIERREZ v. JUDGE MEDEL ARNALDO B. BELEN
AZCUNA, J.
Administrative charges against members of the judiciary must be supported at least by substantial evidence or such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.[4]  In Planas v. Reyes,[5] the Court emphasized that:In administrative proceedings, the burden of proof that respondent committed the act complained of rests on the complainant.  The complainant must present sufficient evidence to support such accusation (citing Ong v. Rosete, A.M. No. 04-1538, October 22, 2004, 441 SCRA 150).
