| Under the Civil Service Rules, immoral conduct is a grave offense punishable with suspension from six months and one day to one year for the first offense.[4] Considering that this is the first offense on the part of respondent Largo, and that his relationship with Halasan had already ceased and they were no longer working in the same station, we deem it proper to impose the penalty of suspension in its minimum period to respondent Largo. | |||||

| 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 least and lowest of its personnel "hence, it becomes the imperative sacred duty of each and everyone in the court to maintain its good name and standing as a true temple of justice.[30] Although every office in the government service is a public trust, no position exacts a greater demand for moral righteousness and uprightness from an individual than one in the judiciary.[31] It is the sacred duty of all court personnel to constantly and strictly adhere to the exacting standards of morality and decency in both their professional and private conduct in order to preserve the good name and integrity of the courts.[32] Measured against these standards, respondents are found wanting. | |||||
