	AM No. P-06-2165 2008-10-10	DOLORES V. MOLINA v. ATTY. GITANJALI BONDOC BRION, J.
In a complaint dated May 3, 2005 filed with the Ombudsman, the complainants charged the respondent with Grave Misconduct and Violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. Instead of acting on the complaint, the Ombudsman referred it to the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA) for disposition and/or appropriate action pursuant to Section 6, Article VIII of the Constitution that exclusively vests in this Court administrative supervision over all courts and court personnel.[1]
	AM No. MTJ-03-1504 2003-08-26	FELICITAS M. HIMALIN v. JUDGE ISAURO M. BALDERIAN PER CURIAM
Thus, a judge who deliberately and continuously failed and refused to comply with a resolution of this Court was held guilty of gross misconduct and insubordination,[13] the Supreme Court being the agency exclusively vested by our Constitution[14] with administrative supervision over all courts and court personnel from the Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeals to the lowest municipal trial court clerk. The Court can hardly discharge such constitutional mandate of overseeing judges and court personnel and taking proper administrative sanction against them[15] if the judge or personnel concerned does not even recognize its administrative authority.
