VELASCO JR., J. |

| Indeed, as correctly pointed out by the OCA, respondents in the present case, by their inexcusable refusal to submit their comments despite all the opportunities provided them, waived their right to rebut the allegations contained in the letter-complaint filed by Lozada and Millado.[4] In fact, respondents' cavalier acts of stringing the investigation out by repeatedly filing requests for extension of time to file their comments and still failing to file their comments despite the lapse of almost two years constitute an appalling disrespect of the authority of this Court and its rules and regulations.[5] This inexcusable failure on the part of respondents, by itself, amounts to an act of impudence, as to be contumacious.[6] | |||||
