| One last point. Pariñas executed an Affidavit of Withdrawal[13] of the complaint stating that she was withdrawing the administrative complaint against Paguinto after realizing that "said complaint against the respondent arose due to misapprehension of facts, misunderstanding and miscommunication." Paguinto, on the other hand, submitted a Manifestation and Motion apologizing to Pariñas for his actuations and admitting that he was "solely to be blamed." A compromise or withdrawal of charges does not terminate an administrative complaint against a lawyer,[14] especially in this case where the lawyer admitted his misconduct. | |||||
