PER CURIAM |
||||
| As an accountable officer, respondent Cunting was entrusted with the responsibility of collecting money belonging to the court. She exercised a very delicate function, that of being the custodian of the court's funds and revenues, records, properties, and premises. Clerks of court are presumed to know their duty to immediately deposit with the authorized government depositories the various funds they receive for they are not supposed to keep funds in their personal possession.[12] Even undue delay in the remittances of the amounts that they collect at the very least constitutes misfeasance.[13] | |||||

PER CURIAM |
||||
| A respondent's refusal to face head-on the charges against her is contrary to the principle in criminal law that the first impulse of an innocent man when accused of wrongdoing is to express his innocence at the first opportune time.[55] The flight of respondent Tuazon is a clear indication of her guilt. | |||||
