EXECUTIVE JUDGE LEANDRO T. LOYAO v. SOFRONIO S. MANATAD

This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR NO. 171048 2007-07-31	RUDY A. PALECPEC v. CORAZON C. DAVIS IN HER CAPACITY AS REGIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PER CURIAM
Our Constitution enshrines the policy that "public office is a public trust [and all] public officers must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost degree of responsibility, integrity, loyalty and efficiency."[41] Public office therefore is given utmost regard, and the highest standards of service are expected from it. We have categorically pronounced that "the nature and responsibilities of public officers enshrined in the 1987 Constitution and oft-repeated in our case law are not mere rhetorical words, not to be taken as idealistic sentiments but as working standards and attainable goals that should be matched with actual deeds."[42]
	AM NO. 05-8-226-METC 2006-01-27	RE: ABSENCE WITHOUT OFFICIAL LEAVE OF MR. BERNARDO CONDE CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Mr. Conde's AWOL continuously prejudices public service. Time and again, this Court has made the pronouncement that any act which falls short of the exacting standards for public service, especially on the part of those expected to preserve the image of the judiciary, shall not be countenanced. Public office is a public trust. Public officers must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost degree of responsibility, integrity, loyalty and efficiency. [9] A court employee's AWOL for a prolonged period of time constitutes conduct prejudicial to the best interest of public service and warrants the penalty of dismissal from the service with forfeiture of benefits. [10]
	AM NO. 04-12-691-RTC 2005-02-18	RE: ABSENCE WITHOUT OFFICIAL LEAVE OF MR. GREGORIO B. FARAON PER CURIAM
There is no doubt that Mr. Faraon's absence without official leave has prejudiced public service. Public office is a public trust. Public officers must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost degree of responsibility, integrity, loyalty and efficiency. A court employee's absence without leave for a prolonged period of time, constitutes conduct prejudicial to the best interest of public service and warrants the penalty of dismissal from the service with forfeiture of benefits.[8]
