	AM No. P-07-2390 2009-08-19	OCA v. LYNDON L. ISIP CARPIO, J.
It must be stressed that all court employees must exercise at all times a high degree of professionalism and responsibility, as service in the Judiciary is not only a duty but also a mission.[12] The Court has repeatedly emphasized that everyone in the judiciary, from the presiding judge to the clerk, must always be beyond reproach, free of any suspicion that may taint the judiciary. Public service requires utmost integrity and discipline. A public servant must exhibit at all times the highest sense of honesty and integrity, for no less than the Constitution mandates the principle that "a public office is a public trust and all public officers and employees must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty and efficiency." As the administration of justice is a sacred task, the persons involved in it ought to live up to the strictest standards of honesty and integrity. Their conduct, at all times, must not only be characterized by propriety and decorum, but must also be above suspicion. Thus, every employee of the judiciary should be an example of integrity, uprightness, and honesty.[13]
	AM No. P-06-2249 2008-10-08	JUDGE PLACIDO C. MARQUEZ v. LUCILA C. PACARIEM LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
It must be stressed that all judicial employees must devote their official time to government service. They must exercise at all times a high degree of professionalism and responsibility, as service in the judiciary is not only a duty; it is a mission.[22] To inspire public respect for the justice system, court officials and employees are at all times behooved to strictly observe official time.[23] Strict observance of official time is mandatory lest the dignity of the justice system be compromised.[24] Thus, Section 1, Canon IV of the Code of Conduct for Court Personnel mandates that the same shall commit themselves exclusively to the business and responsibilities of their office during working hours.[25]
	AM No. P-07-2380 2008-09-25	ABSENCE WITHOUT LEAVE OF MS. LYDIA A. RAMIL AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
The Court has consistently held that public service requires utmost integrity and discipline.[17] Judicial employees must exercise at all times a high degree of professionalism and responsibility, as service in the judiciary is not only a duty; it is a mission.[18] No less than the Constitution mandates that public office is a public trust and all public officers and employees must at all times be accountable to the people and serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty and efficiency.[19]
	AM No. P-06-2118 2008-06-12	TEOFILA C. DE VERA v. ANTHONY E. RIMAS AZCUNA, J.
It must be stressed that judicial employees must exercise at all times a high degree of professionalism and responsibility, as service in the judiciary is not only a duty but also a mission.[10] Moreover, the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees (Republic Act No. 6713) articulates the state's policy of promoting a high standard of ethics and utmost responsibility in the public service. And no other office in the government service exacts a greater demand for moral righteousness and uprightness from an employee than in the Judiciary.[11]
	AM NO. P-05-1960 2007-01-26	CONCERNED LITIGANTS v. MANUEL Z. ARAYA AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
It must be stressed that all judicial employees must devote their official time to government service.[13] They must exercise at all times a high degree of professionalism and responsibility, as service in the judiciary is not only a duty; it is a mission. Moreover, the image of a court of justice is necessarily mirrored in the conduct, official or otherwise, of the men and women who work thereat, from the judge to the last and lowest of its employees.[14]
