PANGANIBAN, CJ
For sure, Obaldo, the clerk in charge of civil cases in Branch 2, was directly accountable for the loss of the records of Civil Case No. 3370.  As an officer of the court, she was expected to discharge her duty of ensuring the safekeeping of court records with diligence, efficiency and professionalism.  Consonant with this duty, she should have seen to it that the records were kept in a secure place.[10]
