SERENO, C.J.
Court personnel must at all times act with strict propriety and proper decorum so as to earn and rebuild the public's trust in the judiciary as an institution.[11]  This Court has consistently ruled that the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees enunciates the State's policy of promoting a high standard of ethics and utmost responsibility in the public service.[12] And no other office in the government service exacts a greater demand for moral righteousness and uprightness from an employee than the judiciary.[13] Every employee of the judiciary should be an example of integrity, uprightness and honesty.[14]

CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Although every office in the government service is a public trust, no position exacts a greater demand for moral righteousness and uprightness from an individual than in the judiciary.[17] That is why this Court has firmly laid down exacting standards of morality and decency expected of those in the service of the judiciary. Their conduct or behavior is circumscribed with the heavy burden of responsibility, characterized by, among other things, propriety and decorum so as to earn and keep the public's respect and confidence in the judicial service. It must be free from any whiff of impropriety, not only with respect to their duties in the judicial branch but also to their behavior outside the court as private individuals. There is no dichotomy of morality; court employees are also judged by their private morals.[18]

NACHURA, J.
Republic Act 6713 - the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees - enunciates the State's policy of promoting a high standard of ethics and utmost responsibility in the public service.[12]  And no other office in the government service exacts a greater demand for moral righteousness and uprightness from an employee than the judiciary.[13]

PER CURIAM
The Code of Conduct for Court Personnel stresses that employees of the judiciary serve as sentinels of justice and any act of impropriety on their part immeasurably affects the honor and dignity of the Judiciary and the people's confidence in it. Although every office in the government service is a public trust, no position exacts a greater demand for moral righteousness and uprightness from an individual than in the judiciary.[16]

PER CURIAM
Dishonesty is a malevolent act that has no place in the judiciary.[3] No other office in the government service exacts a greater demand for moral righteousness from an employee than a position in the judiciary.[4] This Court has emphasized repeatedly that every employee of the judiciary should be an example of integrity, uprightness and honesty.[5] The conduct required of court personnel, from the highest magistrate to the lowliest clerk, must always be beyond reproach.[6]
