AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
For this reason, we find the respondent guilty of simple misconduct only. Civil Service Memorandum Circular No. 30, s. of 1989 classifies simple misconduct as a less grave offense carrying a penalty of one month and one day to six months for the first violation.[45] Considering that this is respondent's first offense in his 32 years of service and considering further that his act was not motivated by any corrupt or wrongful motive, we find that the imposition of the minimum penalty of suspension of one month and one day to be just and reasonable.
