CARPIO MORALES, J. |
||||
| A fine of more than P20,000 but not exceeding P40,000.00. The Court thus finds in order the Recommendation of the OCA to impose a fine of P20,000 on respondent. The OCA's recommendation to warn respondent that a "repetition of the same act will be dealt with more severely" does not lie, however, A.M. No. 05-8-26-SC, which took effect on October 3, 2005, having removed the power of judges of the first level courts[17] to conduct preliminary investigation. A warning that a commission of another infraction tantamount to gross ignorance of law or procedures shall be dealt with more severely lies, however. | |||||
