	AM NO. MTJ-07-1685 2007-09-03	GIDEON B. JUSON v. JUDGE VICENTE C. MONDRAGON CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
As frontline officials of the judiciary, judges should, at all times, act with efficiency and with probity. They are duty-bound not only to be faithful to the law, but likewise to maintain professional competence. The pursuit of excellence must be their guiding principle. This is the least that judges can do to sustain the trust and confidence which the public reposed in them and the institution they represent.[25]
	AM NO. MTJ-06-1653 2007-07-30	EUGENIO JUAN R. GONZALEZ v. JUDGE LIZABETH G. TORRES CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
It must be stressed that the primordial and most important duty of every member of the bench is decision-making. Furthermore, as administrators of their respective courts, judges have the primary responsibility of maintaining the professional competences of their staff. Prompt disposition of the court's business is attained through proper and efficient court management, and a judge is remiss in his duty and responsibility as court manager if he fails to adopt a system of record management.[16]
