PER CURIAM |
||||
| Public office is a public trust.[9] A public servant must bear at all times the highest sense of honesty. This is especially significant for employees in the judiciary. The image of a court of justice is necessarily mirrored in the conduct, official or otherwise, of its personnel, from the judge to the lowest employee. Hence, those involved in the administration of justice must live up to the highest standard of honesty and integrity in the public service.[10] Not only must their conduct at all times be characterized by propriety and decorum but, above all else, it must be beyond suspicion.[11] | |||||
