    TAN VS.

    SABANDAL, 170 SCRA 211, 2/10/89- Admission to


    the Bar
    Category: Legal Ethics

    FACTS:Respondent Nicolas El. Sabandal passed the 1978 Bar Examinations but because of
    pending administrative complaints filed against him regarding instances when he called
    himself “attorney” knowing full well that he was not yet admitted to the Bar, he was not
    allowed to take the lawyer’s oath. Oppositor’s evidence sufficiently show that respondent
    had held himself out as an attorney in the agrarian, civil and criminal cases and he was paid
    for his “legal services”

    He then filed a petition to be admitted to the Philippine Bar and to be allowed to sign the
    Roll of Attorneys. In a resolution promulgated on November 29, 1983 respondent petition
    was denied. Respondent asks for forgiveness, understanding and benevolence and
    promises that, if given a chance to be a member of the Phil. Bar, he would always be faithful
    to the lawyer’s oath and conduct himself in an upright manner.

    HELD:Whether or not respondent shall be admitted to the Philippine Bar rests to a great
    extent in the sound discretion of the Court. An applicant must satisfy the Court that he is a
    person of good moral character, fit and proper to practice law. Sabandal hereby allowed to
    take the lawyer’s oath
