	AM No. P-06-2273 2008-10-24	JUDGE REBECCA R. MARIANO v. MARISSA R. MONDALA PER CURIAM
Unauthorized absences are punishable by suspension of six (6) months and one (1) day to one (1) year for the first offense, and the penalty of dismissal for the second offense with the degree of absenteeism and tardiness which would merit the supreme penalty of dismissal characterized as frequent, habitual and unauthorized.[25]
	AM No. P-07-2336 2008-01-24	FIDELA Y. VARGAS v. NOEL G. PRIMO AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
Since this is not respondent's first offense for simple neglect of duty, the proper penalty imposable on him is dismissal from the service. The Court, however, has the discretion to temper the harshness of its judgment with mercy.[26] Considering that this is the third time that respondent has been found guilty of neglect of duty, the Court finds that respondent deserves to be meted out a penalty stiffer than that recommended by the OCA. However, for humanitarian reasons, coupled with the absence of bad faith,[27] respondent should be meted the penalty of suspension of six months without pay.

	AM NO. P-06-2276 2007-02-05	BEATRIZ F. VILAR v. MARISSA ANGELES AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
While the Court is duty-bound to sternly wield a corrective hand to discipline its errant employees and to weed out those who are undesirable, it also has the discretion to temper the harshness of its judgment with mercy.[29]
