| Every lawyer is an officer of the Court. He has the duty and responsibility to maintain his good moral character. In this regard, good moral character is not only a condition precedent relating to his admission into the practice of law, but is a continuing imposition in order for him to maintain his membership in the Philippine Bar.[10] The Court unwaveringly demands of him to remain a competent, honorable, and reliable individual in whom the public may repose confidence.[11] Any gross misconduct that puts his moral character in serious doubt renders him unfit to continue in the practice of law.[12] | |||||
