    This case involves the disbarment proceedings of Atty. Manuel Tucay for immoral conduct. The facts show that Atty. Tucay left his marital home in 1993 to cohabit with Myrna Tuplano, who was married to another man. While it was unclear if Tucay and Tuplano contracted a bigamous marriage, the records substantiated that Tucay had been carrying on an illicit affair with a married woman. The Court held that this detestable behavior rendered Tucay unfit and undeserving of the privileges of being a licensed attorney.

    Tucay vs Tucay

    A.C. No. 5170, November 17, 1999

    Facts: With the first marriage still subsisting, respondent lawyers

    contracted another marriage with one Myrna C. Tuplano, herself married since

    1983 to a certain Florante T. Tabilog. Respondent left the conjugal dwelling in

    July 1993 to cohabit with Myrna Tuplano. Complainant Lilia F. Tucay, feeling

    deeply aggrieved by the immoral conduct of her husband Atty. Manuel Tucay,

    seeks the latter's disbarment in the instant administrative proceedings.

    Issue: WON Atty. Tucay committed such gross immoral conduct as to

    warrant his disbarment.

    Held: Yes. The Court need not delve into the question of whether or not

    respondent did contract a bigamous marriage. It is enough that the records of

    this administrative case sufficiently substantiate the findings of the Investigating

    Commissioner, as well as the IBP Board of Governors, i.e., that indeed

    respondent has been carrying on an illicit affair with a married woman. This

    detestable behavior renders him regrettably unfit and undeserving of the

    treasured honor and privileges which his license confers upon him.
