PER CURIAM |
||||
| For her refusal to make full use of the opportunity given her to explain her side, the Court is left with no choice but to base its conclusions and decision on what is found in the records.[43] In her affidavit dated August 20, 2003, which is attached to the financial audit report, Maddela stated that she did not voluntarily sign the affidavit where she and Laya supposedly admitted liability in the amount of P2,450,113.00.[44] Even if the Court were to disregard such affidavit which she claims she was forced to sign, still the Court is not inclined to free her from administrative liability. In her August 20, 2003 affidavit, all Maddela could offer as explanation for the shortage of the court funds is as follows: x x x the alleged shortage is a result of erroneous withdrawals and that when I was still the collecting officer, a large amount of money was stolen from me. Such fact is [sic] even brought to the attention of Atty. Flaviano D. Balgos, Jr. who confronted the thief.[45] | |||||
