TINGA, J. |
||||
| In its 6 July 2006 Memorandum,[10] the OCA found respondent remiss in his duty to promptly remit the P2,061.00 JDF collections to the proper custodian, in violation of Section 5-C of the JDF Procedural Guidelines under Administrative Circular No. 3-2000 dated 15 June 2000.[11] He remitted the amount only on 12 January 2005 after the lapse of several years following the actual collections and only after the OCA's directive, when collections should have been remitted at least on a monthly basis if daily remittance is not feasible. The OCA further found him remiss in his duty to deposit the fiduciary collections with the Land Bank or the Municipal Treasurer, as the case may be, in violation of Sections B(4) and (8) of OCA Circular No. 50-95 dated 11 October 1995.[12] While the OCA recommended that respondent's request for the deduction of the shortage from his retirement benefits be granted, it stressed that he must be penalized for his serious misconduct in consonance 'with this Court's ruling in Re: Delayed Remittance of Collections of Teresita Lydia R. Odtuhan, OIC, RTC, Br. 177, Pasay City[13] where respondent therein was fined P10,000.00. | |||||

PER CURIAM |
||||
| In sum, this Court finds Judge Tan guilty of violating Supreme Court rules and circulars in suspending Sheriff Paredes and in withholding the latter's salaries and benefits. Likewise, Judge Tan is guilty of simple misconduct for announcing Sheriff Paredes' suspension in radio stations and for boxing the latter. Both charges are less serious offenses punishable with suspension of not less than one month to three months or a fine of more than P10,000 but not exceeding P20,000.[31] We are aware that Judge Tan is terminally ill with lung cancer. Thus, for humanitarian reasons,[32] because of his financial needs caused by his illness, and because his infractions were done apparently in good faith, we shall not impose any fine on him. | |||||
