"LAWYERS ARE NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE SAINTS"—SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court (SC) ruled that marital infidelity by a lawyer does not automatically amount to administrative liability for immorality unless it has a direct and measurable impact on the lawyer’s fitness to practice law.

In a 12-page decision authored by Associate Justice Henri Jean Paul Inting, the SC En Banc junked the administrative complaints for immorality filed against Atty. Pastor Marcelo M. Reyes, Jr., who allegedly entered into an illicit affair with his own law student after finding that they conspired to keep the said relationship "sub rosa," or secret.

The case stemmed from the disbarment case filed by Maria Theresa Imperial against Atty. Reyes, a married man, who was her law professor in the subject "Secured Transactions"

Imperial alleged that she initially rejected Atty. Reyes's offers of affection; however, after years of enduring courtship, she agreed to engage clandestinely in an extramarital relationship, which started in 1998 until she was discarded by Atty. Reyes sometime in 2019, prompting her to file a disbarment case against him.

In support of the alleged illicit affair, Imperial submitted pictures of Atty. Reyes and her embracing each other, screenshots of various text messages, and a handwritten letter.

In his answer, Atty. Reyes admitted the student-teacher relationship between him and the complainant but denied having any affair with her. He added that although Imperial frequently visited his law firm, it was only because he mentored her in the bar examinations. Unfortunately, the complainant failed the examinations multiple times.

Atty. Reyes also claimed that the pictures and text messages presented by Imperial were old, undated, unauthenticated, and unreliable.

The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) recommended that Atty. Reyes should be guilty of a serious offense under Canon VI, Section 33 of the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability for having breached his marital vows for more than 20 years and for having abused his position as a law professor when he engaged in an illicit affair with his student.

In exonerating Atty. Reyes, the high court noted, Imperial's admission that she conspired to keep their alleged illicit relationship secret destroys the allegations of immorality because she is neither the aggrieved spouse nor an unwilling victim.

It emphasized that the administrative proceedings against lawyers are not an avenue to deprive them of their livelihood and should never be used as a vehicle to assert private rights that have no material and direct connection to the professional duties as a member of the legal profession.

The SC also cited the case of Perfecto vs. Judge Esidera, where it held that lawyers are not and should not be expected to be saints. It underscored that "what they do as citizens of their faiths is beyond this court's power to judge," noting that "the court's jurisdiction over their actions is limited to their acts that may affect public confidence in the Rule of Law."

Nevertheless, the highest bench noted that this ruling doesn't mean that marital infidelity can be justified or should be tolerated.

If your car is flooded, DO NOT start the engine and immediately call your insurance company and a towing service. Once it's safe, disconnect the battery and document the damage with photos. Next, work to dry the interior by ventilating the car and removing all wet items. Finally, have the vehicle professionally inspected and towed to a proper shop or service center for thorough cleaning and repairs.

Immediate actions 🚨

Do not start the engine: Turning on the car can cause severe damage to the engine, electrical systems, and other components.

Disconnect the battery: If it's safe to reach the battery, disconnect the negative terminal to prevent short circuits. If the engine bay is wet, wait for a mechanic.

Call for help: Contact your insurance provider and have the car towed to a service center. A tow truck or flatbed is necessary to move the vehicle safely.

Document the damage: Take photos and videos of the water line on the car's exterior and interior, as well as any visible damage. This will be crucial for your insurance claim.
