PER CURIAM |
||||
| Time and again, we have held that no position demands greater moral righteousness and uprightness from its holder than a judicial office. Those connected with the dispensation of justice, from the highest official to the lowliest clerk, carry a heavy burden of responsibility. As frontliners in the administration of justice, they should live up to the strictest standards of honesty and integrity. They must bear in mind that the image of a court of justice is necessarily mirrored in the conduct, official or otherwise, of the men and women who work there.[55] | |||||

PER CURIAM |
||||
| Under Section 58(a), Rule IV of the Uniform Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service, the penalty of dismissal shall carry with it the accessory penalties of cancellation of eligibility, forfeiture of retirement benefits, and perpetual disqualification from reemployment in the government service, unless otherwise provided in the decision. By jurisprudence, the Court has additionally imposed the forfeiture of all other benefits, except accrued leave credits, of an erring court employee who has failed to meet the strictest standards of honesty and integrity in the discharge of his/her judicial office in the management of court funds.[19] | |||||
