JUAN DULALIA v. ATTY. PABLO C. CRUZ
CARPIO MORALES, J.
As early as 1957, this Court has frowned on the act of contracting a second marriage while the first marriage was still in place as being contrary to honesty, justice, decency and morality.[28]

EDUARDO M. COJUANGCO v. ATTY. LEO J. PALMA
PER CURIAM
Undoubtedly, respondent's act constitutes grossly immoral conduct, a ground for disbarment under Section 27, Rule 138 of the Revised Rules of Court.  He exhibited a deplorable lack of that degree of morality required of him as a member of the Bar.  In particular, he made a mockery of marriage which is a sacred institution demanding respect and dignity.  His act of contracting a second marriage is contrary to honesty, justice, decency and morality.[23]
