[A.M. No. 01-12-01-SC.December 4, 2001]

ALLEGED IMPROPER CONDUCT OF ASSOCIATE. JUSTICE BADOY

EN BANC

Gentlemen:

Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of this Court dated DEC 4 2001.

A.M. No. 01-12-01-SC (In the matter of the alleged Improper Conduct of Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Anacleto D. Badoy Taking an Ambulance but Proceeding to the GMA TV Station for an Interview Instead of Proceeding Forthwith to the Hospital.)

On 29 November 2001 Mr. Justice Anacleto D. Badoy "whisked" himself to the GMA broadcast station complex in Quezon City on board an ambulance en route to an impromptu live interview via the news program Saksi.In the live interview, he reported to the entire country the alleged theft of a resolution penned by him in connection with the criminal case for plunder of Mr. Joseph Ejercito Estrada.Media reports have sarcastically referred to this event as a "staged comedy" or a television "tryst" and bannered by facetious headlines such as "Ambulance rushes Badoy -- to TV station." And captious bylines, "What's with Justice Badoy?"Media personnel also described the commotion that erupted inside the station complex as a "wild chase" when they sought Justice Badoy for an interview.

The Court thus resolves to require Mr. Justice Badoy to show within a non-extendible period of five (5) days from service hereof that the foregoing acts do not constitute conduct unbecoming of an Associate Justice of the Sandiganbayan.

Let this Resolution be served immediately and personally on Mr. Justice Anacleto D. Badoy by a process server of this Court.

Buena, J., abroad on official business.

Very truly yours,

LUZVIMINDA D. PUNO
Clerk of Court

(Sgd.) MA. LUISA D. VILLARAMA

Asst. Clerk of Court
