    OCA vs Yu (Labid vs Yu Resolution)

    Discipline of Members of the Bench


    FACTS
    Administrative complaints against Judge Eliza Yu of MTC Branch 47 Pasay City
    o Non-compliance with admin order for establishment of night courts in Pasay
    o Refusal to honor appointments of Lagman and Lopez, clerks of court
    o Show-cause order respondent issued against fellow judges
    o Refusal to sign leave of absence of Labid
    o Allowing OJTs to perform judicial tasks
    o Designation of an OIC and ordering reception of evidence by a non-lawyer
    o Allowing criminal proceedings to continue without a prosecutor
    o Sending inappropriate email messages to co-lawyers
    Court found Yu guilty of gross insubordination, gross ignorance of the law, gross
    misconduct, grave abuse of authority, oppression, conduct unbecoming of a judicial
    official, and dismisses her from service.
    ISSUE
    Whether or not Yus Motion for Reconsideration with Explanation for the Show
    Cause Order should be granted
    HELD
    Lack of merit; respondent flagrantly and blatantly violated the Lawyer's Oath, and
    several canons and rules of the Code of Professional Responsibility, the Canon of
    Judicial Ethics and the New Judicial Code of Conduct.
    Respondent's overall conduct negated her allegation of good faith i.e. in the email
    messages and in her conduct to employee Labid who was ill, and to the clerks.
    Disbarment is also to be imposed on Yu- respondent's accountability did not end
    with her removal from the Judiciary.
    misdemeanor as a member of the Bench could also cause her expulsion from the
    Legal Profession through disbarment.
    Yu's violation of the fundamental tenets of judicial conduct embodied in the New
    Code of Judicial Conduct for the Philippine Judiciary would constitute a breach of the
    following canons of the Code of Professional Responsibility, to wit:
    CANON 1 - A LA WYER SHALL UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION, OBEY THE LAWS OF
    THE LAND AND PROMOTE RESPECT FOR LAW AND FOR LEGAL PROCESSES.
    Rule 1.02 - A lawyer shall not counsel or abet activities aimed at defiance of
    the law or at lessening confidence in the legal system.
    CANON 6 - THESE CANONS SHALL APPLY TO LAWYERS IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE
    IN THE DISCHARGE OF THEIR OFFICIAL TASKS.
    Rule 6.02 - A lawyer in the government service shall not use his public
    position to promote or advance his private interests, nor allow the latter to
    interfere with his public duties.
    CANON 11 - A LAWYER SHALL OBSERVE AND MAINTAIN THE RESPECT DUE TO
    THE COURTS AND TO JUDICIAL OFFICERS AND SHOULD INSIST ON SIMILAR
    CONDUCT BY OTHERS.
    Rule 11.03 - A lawyer shall abstain from scandalous, offensive or menacing
    language or behavior before the Courts.
    DISBARS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY respondent ELIZA B. YU pursuant to A.M. No.
    02-9-02-SC for violation of the Lawyer's Oath, the Code of Professional
    Responsibility, and the Canons of Professional Ethics; and ORDERS the striking off of
    respondent ELIZA B. YU's name from the Roll of Attorneys.
