AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
Considering, however, that respondent judge has been in the service of the judiciary for 11 years and it appearing that this is her first administrative offense of this nature, the Court finds it proper to impose a lesser penalty.[29] Moreover, the fact that respondent judge is also assigned in another circuit court and one city court also mitigates her liability.[30] Hence, the penalty of fine in the amount of P5,000.00 is deemed commensurate to the infraction committed by respondent judge.[31]
