	AM No. RTJ-14-2394 2014-09-01	GEORGE T. CHUA v. JUDGE FORTUNITO L. MADRONA BERSAMIN, J.
In Re: Verified Complaint for Disbarment of AMA Land, Inc. (represented by Joseph B. Usita) against Court of Appeals Associate Justices Hon. Danton Q. Bueser, Hon. Sesinando E. Villon And Hon. Ricardo G. Rosario,[24] the Court expressed its disdain for administrative charges brought against incumbent Justices and Judges for performing their judicial functions, stating: Indeed, no judicial officer should have to fear or apprehend being held to account or to answer for performing his judicial functions and office because such performance is a matter of public duty and responsibility. The office and duty to render and administer justice are function of sovereignty, and should not be simply taken for granted. As a recognized commentator on public offices and public officers has written:[25]
	AM No. RTJ-13-2356 2014-06-09	ARGEL D. HERNANDEZ v. JUDGE VICTOR C. GELLA BERSAMIN, J.
The nature of adjudication by a judicial magistrate as a function of sovereignty invests the magistrate with a great degree of immunity from administrative and other liabilities. This the Court explained in Re: Verified Complaint For Disbarment of AMA LAND, INC. (Represented By Joseph B. Usita) Against Court of Appeals Associate Justices Hon. Danton Q. Bueser, Hon. Sesinando E. Villon and Hon. Ricardo G. Rosario:[11]
