DEL CASTILLO, J. |

| In Ceniza v. Rubia,[29] respondent therein was alleged to have misrepresented having already filed in court the necessary complaint by showing the copy of the complaint stamped "received" with a docket number thereon.[30] However, upon verification with the appropriate court, it was discovered that none was filed.[31] It was also noted that respondent therein prompted the complainant to borrow money from a third party just to be able to pay her attorney's fees. When the case reached this Court, it imposed the penalty of suspension and not disbarment. In so doing, the Court lent more credence to the explanation of the respondent that the case was "withdrawn" after it had been stamped "received" by the court. | |||||
