| Even if there was already bad blood between complainant and respondent, there can be no justification for the latter's actions especially when complainant was at the court to conduct official business. Patience is an essential part of dispensing justice and courtesy is a mark of culture and good breeding. Belligerent behavior has no place in government service where personnel are enjoined to act with self-restraint and civility at all times even when confronted with rudeness and insolence.[18] | |||||

| Respondent must always bear in mind that government service is people-oriented.[15] Belligerent behavior has no place in government service[16] where employees are bound by the rules of proper and ethical behavior and are expected to act with self-restraint and civility at all times, even when confronted with rudeness and insolence.[17]In Pablejan v. Calleja,[18] the Court emphasized that employees of the judiciary should be living examples of uprightness not only in the performance of their official duties, but also in their personal and private dealings with other people, so as to preserve at all times the good name and standing of courts in the community. Any scandalous behavior or any act that may erode the people's high esteem for the judiciary unbecomes an employee. | |||||
