	GR NO. 155224 2006-08-23	VINSON B. PINEDA v. ATTY. CLODUALDO C. DE JESUS CORONA, J.
As lawyers, respondents should be reminded that they are members of an honorable profession, the primary vision of which is justice. It is respondents' despicable behavior which gives lawyering a bad name in the minds of some people. The vernacular has a word for it: nagsasamantala. The practice of law is a decent profession and not a money-making trade. Compensation should be but a mere incident.[12]
	AC. NO. 5580 2005-06-15	SAN JOSE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION INC. v. ATTY. ROBERTO B. ROMANILLOS PER CURIAM
Membership in the legal profession is a special privilege burdened with conditions.[12] It is bestowed upon individuals who are not only learned in law, but also known to possess good moral character.[13] Lawyers should act and comport themselves with honesty and integrity in a manner beyond reproach, in order to promote the public's faith in the legal profession.[14]
