PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

EN BANC

[A.M. No. RTJ-97-1390. October 17, 2001.]

ATTY. CESAR B. MERIS, Complainant, v. JUDGE CARLOS C. OFILADA, RTC-Br. 15, Malolos, Bulacan, Respondent.

[A.M. No. RTJ-98-1411. October 17, 2001.]

FRANCISCO R. HERNANDEZ, Complainant, v. JUDGE CARLOS C. OFILADA, RTC-Br. 15, MALOLOS, BULACAN, Respondent.

R E S O L U T I O N


BELLOSILLO, J.:


This resolves the request of Ms. Irene Diaz Ofilada, wife of former judge, herein respondent Carlos C. Ofilada, appealing for compassion from the Court contained in her "A Plea of Mercy" to allow her husband to secure his retirement benefits and leave credits.

In the Decision of this Court dated 5 August 1998 Judge Carlos C. Ofilada was found guilty of grave abuse of authority and evident partiality, gross incompetence and ignorance of the law. He was dismissed immediately from the service with forfeiture of all his retirement benefits and leave credits with prejudice to his reemployment in any public office including government-owned or controlled corporation. 1

According to Ms. Ofilada, her husband was suffering from various illnesses and was already confined to a wheelchair. She added that her husband served the government for thirty-seven (37) years, painstakingly working his way from court janitor to judge of the Regional Trial Court. Since her husband was already old and incapacitated he was in dire need of funds to cover his medical expenses. However, on 30 April 2001, while Ms. Ofilada’s letter was being considered by the Court respondent Judge Ofilada died.

Forfeiture of retirement benefits and leave credits is sanctioned by Rule XIV [Discipline] of the Omnibus Rules Implementing Book V of Executive Order No. 292 (Administrative Code of 1987) and Other Pertinent Civil Service Laws which provides —chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary

Sec. 9. The penalty of dismissal shall carry with it cancellation of eligibility, forfeiture of leave credits and retirement benefits, and the disqualification for reemployment in the government service. Further, it may be imposed without prejudice to criminal or civil liability.

However, in a number of cases involving judges and court personnel this Court has shown compassion in imposing the penalty of forfeiture of leave credits and retirement benefits and disqualification for reemployment in government-owned or controlled corporations.

Thus, in Castillo v. Calanog, Jr. 2 respondent judge was found guilty of immorality and was dismissed from the service with prejudice to his reinstatement or appointment to any public office including a government-owned or controlled corporation, and forfeiture of retirement benefits, if any. Three (3) years hence, however, and upon the filing of a petition for clemency and compassion, the Court lifted the penalty of disqualification from appointment to any public office after respondent showed sincere repentance and after considering his contributions during the period that he was a judge. 3

Also in Cathay Pacific Airways, Ltd. v. Romillo, Jr. 4 this Court, out of humanitarian considerations, allowed dismissed Judge Romillo, Jr. to enjoy all vacation and sick leave benefits that he earned during his government service. In Prudential Bank v. Castro 5 this Court likewise allowed respondent judge to enjoy the money equivalent of all his vacation and sick leave benefits.

These cases and similar others laid the groundwork and paved the way for the amendment of Rule 140 6 of the Rules of Court. Before its amendment, Rule 140 only provided for the procedure in case a complaint was filed against a regional trial court judge. 7 There was no mention of specific sanctions that may be imposed as it only provided that" (a)fter the filing of the report, the court will take such action as the facts and law may warrant." 8 When it was amended specific sanctions were already provided. Relatedly, while the "Plea of Mercy" of Ms. Ofilada was pending before us, Rule 140 of the Rules of Court regarding the discipline of Justices and Judges was again amended. It now provides that effective 1 October 2001 the sanctions that may be imposed on erring Justices and Judges, pursuant to Sec. 11 9 of Rule 140 are as follows —

SEC. 11. Sanctions. — A. If the respondent is guilty of a serious charge, any of the following sanctions may be imposed:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library

1. Dismissal from the service, forfeiture of all or part of the benefits as the Court may determine, and disqualification from reinstatement or appointment to any public office, including government-owned or controlled corporations. Provided, however, that the forfeiture of benefits shall in no case include accrued leave credits;

2. Suspension from office without salary and other benefits for more than three (3) but not more than six (6) months; or

3. A fine of more than P20,000.00 but not exceeding P40,000.00 . . . (Emphasis supplied).

Under this amendment, the Court may forfeit respondent’s retirement benefits in whole or in part depending on the circumstances of each case. In addition to his accrued leaves, the respondent may be allowed to enjoy a portion of his retirement benefits. Notably, even before the effectivity of this amendment, the Court already had occasion to grant to a dismissed judge not only the money equivalent of his accrued leaves but also a portion of his retirement benefits, as we did in Sabitsana, Jr. v. Villamor. 10chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary

ACCORDINGLY, the Court Resolves to GRANT the heirs of Judge Carlos C. Ofilada the money equivalent of all his accrued sick and vacation leaves and, in addition, a gratuity equivalent to twenty-five percent (25%) of his retirement benefits. To this extent, the dispositive portion of the Decision dated 5 August 1998 is deemed MODIFIED.chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
