	AM No. MTJ-11-1796 2012-06-13	FE D. VALDEZ v. JUDGE LIZABETH G. TORRES LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
Prompt disposition of cases is attained basically through the efficiency and dedication to duty of judges. If they do not possess those traits, delay in the disposition of cases is inevitable to the prejudice of litigants. Accordingly, judges should be imbued with a high sense of duty and responsibility in the discharge of their obligation to promptly administer justice.[21]
	AM No. 06-3-196-RTC 2008-12-24	LETTER OF JUDGE JOSEFINA D. FARRALES LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
After consideration of the foregoing, We agree with the OCA's findings and recommendation. In Re: Report on the Judicial Audit and Physical Inventory of Cases in the Regional Trial Court, Branch 54, Bacolod City,[20] we held that a branch clerk of court's administrative functions are just as vital to the prompt and proper administration of justice. A branch clerk of court is charged with the efficient recording, filing and management of court records, besides having supervision over court personnel. Having been assigned a key role in the complement of the court, one cannot be permitted to slacken on one's job under one pretext or another. The clerk of court in this case was advised to be assiduous in performing official duties and in supervising and managing court dockets and records.

These rules are in recognition of the right of every person to the speedy disposition of their cases.[17] For, as oft stated, justice delayed is justice denied. Indeed, the public's faith and confidence in the judiciary depends, to a large extent, on the judicious and prompt disposition of cases and matters pending before the courts.[18] Any delay in the disposition of cases diminishes the people's faith and confidence in the judiciary.[19] It erodes faith in the judicial system and unnecessarily blemishes its stature.[20] Judges must therefore perform their official duties with utmost competence and diligence, and they should be imbued with a high sense of duty and responsibility in the discharge of their obligation to promptly administer justice.[21] Judges must cultivate a capacity for quick decision, and must not delay the judgment which a party justly deserves.[22] For, truly, inability to decide a case within the required period is inexcusable and constitutes gross inefficiency, which warrants the imposition of administrative sanction against the erring magistrate.[23]
