VILLARAMA, JR., J. |

| The Court could hardly perceive any reasonable purpose for the faculty's less than objective comments except to discredit the April 28, 2010 Decision in the Vinuya case and undermine the Court's honesty, integrity and competence in addressing the motion for its reconsideration. As if the case on the comfort women's claims is not controversial enough, the UP Law faculty would fan the flames and invite resentment against a resolution that would not reverse the said decision. This runs contrary to their obligation as law professors and officers of the Court to be the first to uphold the dignity and authority of this Court, to which they owe fidelity according to the oath they have taken as attorneys, and not to promote distrust in the administration of justice.[6] Their actions likewise constitute violations of Canons 10, 11, and 13[7] and Rules 1.02 and 11.05[8] of the Code of Professional Responsibility.[9] | |||||
