PER CURIAM |
||||
| In Conrado Abe Lopez v. Judge Rogelio S. Lucmayon,[32] we ruled that:The Code of Judicial Ethics mandates that the conduct of a judge must be free of a whiff of impropriety not only with respect to his performance of his judicial duties, but also to his behavior outside his sala as a private individual. There is no dichotomy of morality: a public official is also judged by his private morals. The Code dictates that a judge, in order to promote public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary, must behave with propriety at all times. As we have recently explained, a judge's official life cannot simply be detached or separated from his personal existence. (emphasis ours) | |||||
