PER CURIAM |

| Nonetheless, Section 53 allows analogous circumstances to be considered as mitigating. In Civil Service Commission v. Belagan,[94] we considered the respondent’s unblemished record in the past and numerous awards as mitigating. Similarly, in Vidallon-Magtolis v. Salud,[95] we likewise mitigated respondent’s administrative liability as he had not been previously charged or administratively sanctioned. In De Guzman, Jr. v. Mendoza,[96] we refrained from meting out the penalty of suspension for one year without pay because it was Mendoza's first offense. Also in Buntag v. Paña,[97] we affirmed the reduction of the penalty considering that it was the respondent’s first infraction. | |||||
