WILFREDO M.
CATU, Complainant
Atty. VICENTE G. RELLOSA, Respondent
A.C. No. 5738
Wilfredo Catu filed a case against Atty. Vicente G. Rellosa. The reason why the case was filed
was because Atty. Rellosa entered his appearance as counsel in a case of ejection for Elizabeth Catu and
Antonio Pastor despite being an incumbent Barangay Captain and despite the fact that the Respondent
presided over a failed conciliation where Elizabeth Catu and Antonio Pastor was one of the parties
involved. Elizabeth was the one who sought for the legal assistance of the Respondent. Moved by
Elizabeth's situation and because respondent felt he needed to prevent the commission of patent
injustice, he represented Elizabeth Catu and Antonio Pastor.
The complaint filed by was forwarded to the IBP for investigation. The IBP after examining the
facts and contention of both parties presented before it ruled that the Respondent is guilty under for
violating the following laws:
1. Rule 6.03 of the Code of Professional Ethics1;
2. Section 7(b)(2) of RA 6713 (The Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and
Employees)2; and
3. Canon 1 of the Code of Professional Responsibility3.
The IBP recommended that the Respondent be suspended from the practice of law for 1 month with a
stern warning that the commission of the same or similar act will be dealt with more severely.
The Supreme Court modified the findings and the penalty imposed towards the Respondent.
1. Whether or not the Respondent was liable for violating his oath as a lawyer.
Yes, but in their decision, the Court ruled that Rule 6.03 of the Code of Professional Ethics is not
applicable because the Respondent was an incumbent Barangay Captain and not one who has already

left government service. In addition, it should have been Section 90 of RA 71604 and not Section 7(b)(2)
of RA 6713 that was applied. The Latter is the general law which applies to all public officials and
employees while the former applies to elective local government officials. In RA 7160, the elective local
government officials totally prohibited to practice their profession are governors, city mayors and
municipal mayors, while partial prohibition is given to members of the Provincial Council, City Council
and Municipal Council. There was no prohibition given to Barangay Captains and members of the
Barangay Council therefore it should be understood that they are allowed to practice their profession
without prohibition. However, the Barangay Captain should still procure permission or authorization
from the head of his Department, as required by civil service regulations5. It is in this requirement that
the Respondent have failed to comply with. This non-compliance has made him liable for breaking his
oath as a lawyer, to obey the laws and exact ethical standards of the legal profession. The importance of
this oath has been enshrined respectively as the first canon of the Code of Professional Responsibility 6
and the seventh canon of upholding the integrity and dignity of the legal profession7. The act of the
respondent meted a guilty verdict from the Supreme Court and was suspended for 6 months and is
sternly warned that any repetition of similar acts shall be dealt with more severely.

Ramos v. Imbang
This case is about the disbarment or Suspension against Atty. Jose R. Imbang for multiple violations
of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
1992, Ramos sought the assistance of Atty. Imbang in filing civil and criminal actions against the
spouses Roque and Elenita Jovellanos. She gave Imbang P8, 500 as attorney's fees but the latter issued
areceipt for P5,000 only. Ramos tried to attend the scheduled hearings of her cases against the
Jovellanoses. Imbang never allowed her to enter the courtroom and always told her to wait
outside. He would the income out after several hours to inform her that the hearing had been
cancelled and rescheduled. This happened six times and for each "appearance" in court, respondent
charged her P350.Ramos was shocked to learn that Imbang never filed any case against the
Jovellanoses and that he was in fact employed in the Public Attorney's Office (PAO)
Whether or not Atty. Imbang should be disbarred.
YES, as per SC's decision Lawyers are expected to conduct themselves with honesty and
integrity. More specifically, lawyers in government service are expected to be more conscientious
of their actuations as they are subject to public scrutiny. They are not only members of the bar but also
public servants who owe utmost fidelity to public service.
The SC supported this with three explanations:
1. Code of Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees Section 7(b)(2) of the Code of Ethical
Standards for Public Officials and Employees provides Section 7. Prohibited Acts and Transactions. -- In
addition to acts and omissions of public officials and employees now prescribed in the Constitution
and existing laws, the following constitute prohibited acts and transactions of any public official
and employee and are hereby declared unlawful (b) Outside employment and other activities related
thereto, public officials and employees during their incumbency shall not (1) Engage in the private
practice of profession unless authorized by the Constitution or law, provided that such practice
will not conflict with their official function. In this instance, Imbang received P5,000 from the
complainant and issued a receipt on July 15, 1992 while he was still connected with the PAO.
Acceptance of money from a client establishes an attorney-client relationship.
2. Revised Administrative Code Section 14(3), Chapter 5, Title III, Book V of the Revised Administrative
Code provides:
The PAO shall be the principal law office of the Government in extending free legal
assistance to indigent persons in criminal, civil, labor, administrative and other quasi-judicial
cases. As a PAO lawyer, Imbang should not have accepted attorney's fees from the
complainant as this was inconsistent with the office's mission.
3. Canon 1 of the Code of Professional Responsibility provides:
CANON 1 — A LAWYER SHALL UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION, OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND
AND PROMOTE RESPECTFOR THE LAW AND LEGAL PROCESSES. Every lawyer is obligated to
uphold the law.
This undertaking includes the observance of the above-mentioned prohibitions blatantly violated by
Imbang when he accepted the complainant's cases and received attorney's fees in
consideration of his legal services. Consequently, Imbang's acceptance of the cases was also a breach of
Rule 18.01 of the Code of Professional Responsibility because the prohibition on the
private practice of profession disqualified him from acting as Ramos' counsel.
People v. Samson A.C. No. 9608
Complainant Maria Victoria B. Ventura filed on July 29, 2004 a Complaint2 for Disbarment or Suspension
before the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Commission on Bar Discipline against respondent Atty.
Danilo S. Samson for "grossly immoral conduct."
The herein Complainant MARIA VICTORIA B. VENTURA executed a Sworn Statement dated 19 April 2002
and a Supplemental Complaint dated 10 May 2002 stating therein that the crime of RAPE was
committed against her person sometime in December, 2001 and on 19 March 2002 when she was
merely thirteen (13) years of age by herein Respondent ATTY. DANILO S. SAMSON, then thirty eight (38)
years old, married to Teresita B. Samson
In his Counter-Affidavit, herein Respondent ATTY. DANILO S. SAMSON admitted that sexual intercourse
indeed transpired between the herein Complainant MARIA VICTORIA B. VENTURA and himself
After the conduct of preliminary investigation, the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor of Agusan Del Sur,
Philippines issued a RESOLUTION dated 10 June 2002 dismissing the charge of RAPE and finding the
existence of probable cause for the crime of QUALIFIED SEDUCTION and issued the corresponding
INFORMATION for QUALIFIED SEDUCTION on 04 July 2002
The act/s committed by the herein Respondent Atty. Danilo S. Samson against the herein Complainant
MARIA VICTORIA B. VENTURA as hereinbefore stated clearly constitute … "grossly immoral conduct"
under Section 27 of Rule 138 of the Rules of Court of the Philippines which provides for a penalty of
"DISBARMENT or SUSPENSION of an Attorney by the SUPREME COURT."
Respondent vehemently denies the truth of the allegations in paragraph 8 of the complaint to the effect
that the acts of respondent in having sex with complainant constitute … grossly immoral conduct. The
truth is that [the] act of respondent in having sex with complainant was done [with] mutual agreement
after respondent gave money to complainant. Respondent respectfully submit[s] that his act of having
sex with complainant once does not constitute … gross[ly] immoral conduct. There is no human law that
punishes a person who [has] sex with a woman with mutual agreement and complainant [accepts]
compensation therefore. Having sex with complainant once with just compensation does not amount to
immoral conduct….
The pertinent provisions in the Code of Professional Responsibility provide:
CANON 1 - A LAWYER SHALL UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION, OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND AND
PROMOTE RESPECT FOR LAW AND LEGAL PROCESSES.
Rule 1.01. - A lawyer shall not engage in unlawful, dishonest, immoral or deceitful conduct. x x x x

nor shall he, whether in public or private life, behave in a scandalous manner to the discredit of the legal
profession.
WHEREFORE, respondent Atty. Danilo S. Samson is hereby DISBARRED for Gross Immoral Conduct,
Violation of his oath of office, and Violation of Canon 1, Rule 1.01 and Canon 7, Rule 7.03 of the Code of
Professional Responsibility. Let a copy of this Decision, which is immediately executory, be made part of
the records of respondent in the Office of the. Bar Confidant, Supreme Court of the Philippines. And let
copies of the Decision be furnished the Integrated Bar of the Philippines and circulated to all courts. This
Decision takes effect immediately.
Guevarra vs. Eala A.C. No. 7136 August 1, 2007
Joselano Guevarra vs. Atty. Jose Emmanuel Eala
Facts: On March 4, 2002 a complaint of disbarment was filed before the Integrated Bar of the Philippines
Committee on Bar Discipline against Atty. Jose Emmanuel M. Eala a.k.a. Noli Eala for grossly immoral
conduct and unmitigated violation of the lawyer's oath. In the Complaint, Guevarra first met the
respondent in January 2000 when his then fiancée Irene Moje introduced respondent to him as her
friend who was married to Marianne Tantoco with whom he had three children.
After his marriage to Irene on October 7, 2000, Complainant noticed that from January to March 2001,
Irene had been receiving from respondent Cellphone calls, as well as messages some which read "I love
you," "I miss you," or "Meet you at Megamall." He also noticed that Irene habitually went home very
late at night or early in the morning of the following day, and sometimes did not go home from work.
When he asked her whereabouts, she replied that she slept at her parent's house in Binangonan, Rizal
or she was busy with her work.
In February or March 2001, complainant saw Irene and Respondent together on two occasions. On the
second occasion, he confronted them following which Irene abandoned the conjugal house. On April 22,
2001 complainant went uninvited to Irene's birthday celebration at which he saw her and the
respondent celebrating with her family and friends. Out of embarrassment, anger and humiliation, he
left the venue immediately. Following that incident, Irene went to the conjugal house and hauled off all
her personal belongings. Complainant later found a handwritten letter dated October 7, 2007, the day of
his wedding to Irene, Complainant soon saw respondent's car and that of Irene constantly parked at No.
71-B11 Street, New Manila where as he was later learn sometime in April 2001, Irene was already
residing. He also learned still later that when his friends saw Irene on about January 18, 2002 together
with respondent during a concert, she was pregnant.
Whether Concubinage or Adulterous relationship, be the reason for the disbarment of Atty. Jose
Emmanuel Eala.
Lawyer's oath stated that a lawyer should support the Constitution and obey the laws, meaning he shall
not make use of deceit, malpractice, or other gross misconduct, grossly immoral conduct, or be
convicted in any crime involving moral turpitude. In the case at bar Atty. Eala was accused of
Concubinage, under ART. 334 of the Revised Penal Code, " Any husband who shall keep a mistress in a
conjugal dwelling, or, shall have sexual intercourse, under scandalous circumstances, with a woman who
is not his wife, or shall cohabit with her in any other place, shall be punished by prision correccional in its
minimum and medium period. Section 2 of ART. XV states that "Marriage, as an inviolable social
institution, is the foundation of the family and shall be protected by the state. Respondent's grossly
immoral conduct runs afoul of the constitution and the laws, that he as a lawyer has sworn to uphold.
Hence the court declared Atty. Jose Emmanul M. Eala DISBARRED for grossly immoral conduct, violation
of his oath of office, and violation of canon 1, Rule 1.01 and Canon 7, Rule 7.03 of the Code of
Professional Responsibility.
Cayetano vs. Monsod 201 SCRA 210 September 1991
Cayetano vs. Monsod
201 SCRA 210
Respondent Christian Monsod was nominated by President Corazon C. Aquino to the position of
chairman of the COMELEC. Petitioner opposed the nomination because allegedly Monsod does not
possess required qualification of having been engaged in the practice of law for at least ten years. The
1987 constitution provides in Section 1, Article IX-C: There shall be a Commission on Elections composed
of a Chairman and six Commissioners who shall be natural-born citizens of the Philippines and, at the
time of their appointment, at least thirty-five years of age, holders of a college degree, and must not
have been candidates for any elective position in the immediately preceding elections. However, a
majority thereof, including the Chairman, shall be members of the Philippine Bar who have been
engaged in the practice of law for at least ten years.
Whether the respondent does not possessed the required qualification of having engaged in the
practice of law for at least ten years.
In the case of Philippine Lawyers Association vs. Agrava, stated: The practice of law is not limited to the
conduct of cases or litigation in court; it embraces the preparation of pleadings and other papers
incident to actions and special proceeding, the management of such actions and proceedings on behalf
of clients before judges and courts, and in addition, conveying. In general, all advice to clients, and all
action taken for them in matters connected with the law incorporation services, assessment and
condemnation services, contemplating an appearance before judicial body, the foreclosure of mortgage,
enforcement of a creditor's claim in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, and conducting
proceedings in attachment, and in matters of estate and guardianship have been held to constitute law
practice. Practice of law means any activity, in or out court, which requires the application of law, legal
procedure, knowledge, training and experience.
The contention that Atty. Monsod does not posses the required qualification of having engaged in the
practice of law for at least ten years is incorrect since Atty. Monsod's past work experience as a lawyer-
economist, a lawyer-manager, a lawyer-entrepreneur of industry, a lawyer-negotiator of contracts, and
a lawyer-legislator of both rich and the poor – verily more than satisfy the constitutional requirement
for the position of COMELEC chairman, The respondent has been engaged in the practice of law for at
least ten years does In the view of the foregoing, the petition is DISMISSED.
Ulep v. The Legal Clinic Inc.
223 SCRA 378 – 42 SCAD 287 – Legal Ethics – Advertisement in the Legal Profession – Practice of Law
In 1984, The Legal Clinic was formed by Atty. Rogelio Nogales. Its aim, according to Nogales was to
move toward specialization and to cater to clients who cannot afford the services of big law firms. Now,
Atty. Mauricio Ulep filed a complaint against The Legal Clinic because of the latter's advertisements
which contain the following:

Tel. 521-7232, 521-7251, 522-2041, 521-0767
It is also alleged that The Legal Clinic published an article entitled "Rx for Legal Problems" in Star Week
of Philippine Star wherein Nogales stated that they The Legal Clinic is composed of specialists that can
take care of a client's problem no matter how complicated it is even if it is as complicated as the Sharon
Cuneta-Gabby Concepcion situation. He said that he and his staff of lawyers, who, like doctors, are
"specialists" in various fields, can take care of it. The Legal Clinic, Inc. has specialists in taxation and
criminal law, medico-legal problems, labor, litigation and family law. These specialists are backed up by a
battery of paralegals, counselors and attorneys.
As for its advertisement, Nogales said it should be allowed in view of the jurisprudence in the US which
now allows it (John Bates vs The State Bar of Arizona). And that besides, the advertisement is merely
making known to the public the services that The Legal Clinic offers.
Whether or not The Legal Clinic is engaged in the practice of law; whether such is allowed; whether or
not its advertisement may be allowed.
Yes, The Legal Clinic is engaged in the practice of law however, such practice is not allowed. The Legal
Clinic is composed mainly of paralegals. The services it offered include various legal problems wherein a
client may avail of legal services from simple documentation to complex litigation and corporate
undertakings. Most of these services are undoubtedly beyond the domain of paralegals, but rather, are
exclusive functions of lawyers engaged in the practice of law. Under Philippine jurisdiction however, the
services being offered by Legal Clinic which constitute practice of law cannot be performed by
paralegals. Only a person duly admitted as a member of the bar and who is in good and regular
standing, is entitled to practice law.
Anent the issue on the validity of the questioned advertisements, the Code of Professional
Responsibility provides that a lawyer in making known his legal services shall use only true, honest, fair,
dignified and objective information or statement of facts. The standards of the legal profession
condemn the lawyer's advertisement of his talents. A lawyer cannot, without violating the ethics of his
profession, advertise his talents or skills as in a manner similar to a merchant advertising his
goods. Further, the advertisements of Legal Clinic seem to promote divorce, secret marriage, bigamous
marriage, and other circumventions of law which their experts can facilitate. Such is highly
reprehensible.
The Supreme Court also noted which forms of advertisement are allowed. The best advertising possible
for a lawyer is a well-merited reputation for professional capacity and fidelity to trust, which must be
earned as the outcome of character and conduct. Good and efficient service to a client as well as to the
community has a way of publicizing itself and catching public attention. That publicity is a normal by-
product of effective service which is right and proper. A good and reputable lawyer needs no artificial
stimulus to generate it and to magnify his success. He easily sees the difference between a normal by-
product of able service and the unwholesome result of propaganda. The Supreme Court also
enumerated the following as allowed forms of advertisement:
1. Advertisement in a reputable law list
2. Use of ordinary simple professional card
3. Listing in a phone directory but without designation as to his specialization
JUAN DULALIA, JR. v. ATTY. PABLO C. CRUZ
The primary duty of lawyers is to be well-informed of the existing laws, o keep abreast with legal
developments, recent enactments, and jurisprudence, and be conversant with basic legal principles.
Susan Soriano Dulalia (Susan), wife of Juan, applied for a permit in the Municipal Government to build a
high rise building in Bulacan. The permit was not released due to the opposition of Atty. Cruzwho sent a
letter to the Municipal Engineers office, claiming that the building impedes the airspace of their
property which is adjacent to the Dulalia's property. Juan Dulalia (Juan) filed a complaint for disbarment
against Atty. Pablo Cruz (Cruz) for immoral conduct.
Juan also claimed that Cruz's illicit relationship with a woman while still married is in violation of the
Code of Professional Responsibility. Cruz invokes good faith, claiming to have had the impression that
the applicable provision at the time was Article 83 of the Civil Code, for while Article 256 of the Family
Code provides that the Code shall have retroactive application, there is a qualification.
Whether or not Cruz violated the Code of Professional Responsibility
Cruz's claim that he was not aware that the Family Code already took effect on August 3, 1988 as he was
in the United States from 1986 and stayed there until he came back to the Philippines together with his
second wife on October 9, 1990 does not lie, as "ignorance of the law excuses no one from compliance
therewith."
Immoral conduct which is proscribed under Rule 1.01 of the Code of Professional Responsibility, as
opposed to grossly immoral conduct, connotes "conduct that shows indifference to the moral norms of
society and the opinion of good and respectable members of the community." Gross immoral conducton
the other hand must be so corrupt and false as to constitute a criminal act or so unprincipled as to be
reprehensible to a high degree.
It must be emphasized that the primary duty of lawyers is to obey the laws of the land and promote
respect for the law and legal processes. This duty carries with it the obligation to be well-informed of the
existing laws and to keep abreast with legal developments, recent enactments and jurisprudence. It is
imperative that they be conversant with basic legal principles. Unless they faithfully comply with such
duty, they may not be able to discharge competently and diligently their obligations as members of the
bar. Worse, they may become susceptible to committing mistakes.
The Court therefore concludes that Atty. Pablo C. Cruz is guilty of violating Rule 1.01 and Canon 5 of the
Code of Professional Responsibility and is suspended from the practice of law for one year.
Atty. Policarpio I. Catalan vs Atty. Joselito M. Silvosa(A.C. No. 7360)
Atty. Silvosa was an Assistant Provincial Prosecutor of Bukidnon and a Prosecutor in Regional Trial Court,
Branch 10,Malaybalay City, Bukidnon. Atty. Silvosa appeared as counsel for the accused in the same case
for which he previously appeared as prosecutor.
Atty. Silvosa appeared as public prosecutor in Criminal Case No. 10256-00 (Esperon Case), for the
complex crime of double frustrated murder and later on November 23, 2005, Atty. Silvosa, as private
lawyer and as counsel for the accused, filed a motion to reinstate bail pending finality of judgement of
the Esperon Case. Atty. Silvosa made an attempt to bribe Prosecutor Toribio for 30,000.00php and
failed. Prosecutor Toribio excuted her affidavit on June 14, 1999, a day after the failed bribery attempt,
and had it notarized by Atty. Nemesio Beltran, then President of the IBP-Bukidnon Chapter. On May 18,
2006, the Sandiganbayan convicted Atty. Silvosa in Criminal Case. 27776 for direct bribery on an NBI set-
up entrapment operation, wherein, Atty. Silvosa demanded15,000.00php from Lanticse for the dismissal
of the case and for ther elease of Cadinas who was in detention for more than two years.
1. Whether or not respondent violated Rule 6.03 of the Codeof Professional Responsibility.
2. Whether or not a delay of the filing for an administrative complaint exonerate a respondent.
3. Whether or not crime involving moral turpitude can be aground for disbarment.
1. Yes, respondent violated Rule 6.03 of the Code of Professional Responsibility of the Integrated Bar
of the Philippines. Atty. Silvosa's attempt to minimize his role in saidcase would be unavailing. The fact is
that he is presumed to have acquainted himself with the facts of the said case. Such would constitute
sufficient intervention in the case. Rule 6.03 of the Code of Professional Responsibility states "A lawyer
shall not, after leaving government service,accept engagement or employment in connection with any
matter in which he had intervened while in said service." The Court agree with Commissioner Funa's
finding that Atty. Silvosa violated Rule 6.03, when he entered his appearance in the motion to Post Bail
Pending Appeal, Atty. Silvosa conveniently forgot Rule 15.03 which provides that "A lawyer shall not
represent conflicting interest except by written consent of concern given after a full disclosure of facts."
Atty. Silvosa's representation of conflicting interests merit at least the penalty of suspension.
2. No, delay of filing for an administrative complaint does notexonerate a respondent. There is certain
difficulty to dissect a claim of bribery that occurred more than seven years ago. In this instance, the
conflicting allegations are merely based on the word of one person against the word of another. When
the integrity of a member of the bar is challenged, it is not enough that he denies the charges against
him. He must show proof that he still maintains that degree of morality and integrity which at all times
expected of him. Atty. Silvosa failed in this respect. The Court says, mere delay in filing of an
administrative complaint against a member of the bar does not automatically exonerate a
respondent. Administrative offenses do not prescribe. No matter how much time has elapsed from the
time of the commission of the act complaint of and the time of the institution of the complaint, erring
member of the bench and bar cannot escape the disciplining arm of the Court. Atty. Silvosa's failed
attempt at bribing Prosecutor Toribio also merit at least the penalty of suspension.
3. Yes, crime involving moral turpitude can be a ground for disbarment. Moral turpitude is defined as an
act of baseness, vileness, or depravity in the private duties which a man owes to his fellow men, or to
society in general, contrary to justice, honesty, or good morals. There is no doubt that the
Sandiganbayans' judgement in Criminal Case No. 27776 is a matter of public record and is already final.
Rule 138, Section 27 provides, A member of the bar may be disbarred by reason of his conviction of a
crime involving moral turpitude. The crime of direct bribery is a crime involving moral turpitude, as
ruled, in Magno vs COMELEC. The practice of Law is a privilege, and Atty. Silvosa has proved himself
unfit to exercise his privilege.Wherefore, respondent Atty. Joselito M. Silvosa is hereby disbarred and his
name ordered stricken from the Roll of Attorneys. So ordered.
FELICITAS S. QUIAMBAO vs. ATTY. NESTOR A. BAMBA Adm. Case No. 6708, August 25, 2005
Quiambao was the president and managing director of Allied Investigation Bureau, Inc. (AIB), a family-
owned corporation engaged in providing security and investigation services. She employed the legal serv
ices of Atty. Bamba not only for the corporate affairs of AIB but also for her personal case. In fact, Atty.
Bamba acted as her counsel of record in an ejectment case. Atty. Bamba convinced the complainant to f
orm a new security agency, QRMSI, with the former as a silent partner. She then resigned. However, abo
ut six months thereafter, Atty. Bamba filed on behalf of AIB a complaint for replevin and damages agains
t her for the purpose of recovering from her the car of AIB assigned to her as a service vehicle. At this po
int the ejectment case was still pending and he did not withdraw as counsel.
It was also averred that Atty. Bamba also convinced complainant's brother to organize another security
agency, SESSI, where the former served as its incorporator, director, and president.
In the case at bar, the Supreme Court held that Atty. Bamba;s theory is incorrect that since the ejectmen
t case and the replevin case are unrelated cases with different issues, parties, and subject matters, the p
rohibition is inapplicable. His representation of opposing clients in both cases, though unrelated, obviou
sly constitutes conflict of interest or, at the least, invites suspicion of double-
dealing. While the respondent may assert that the complainant expressly consented to his continued re
presentation in the ejectment case, the respondent failed to show that he fully disclosed the facts to bot
h his clients and he failed to present any written consent of the complainant and AIB as required under
Rule 15.03, Canon 15 of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
It must be noted that Republic Act No. 5487, otherwise known as the Private Security Agency Law, prohi
bits a person from organizing or having an interest in more than one security agency. Thus, in organizing
SESSI, the Atty. Bamba violated Rule 1.02, Canon 1 of the Code of Professional Responsibility, which man
dates lawyers to promote respect for the law and refrain from counseling or abetting activities aimed at
defiance of the law. Atty. Bamba is SUSPENDED from the practice of law for a period of ONE (1) YEAR

A.C. No.7054 November 11, 2014PER CURIAM
Reinstatement to the Practice of Law -- The basic inquiry in a petition for reinstatement to the practice
of law is whether the lawyer has sufficiently rehabilitated himself or herself in conduct and character.x
x x The lawyer has to demonstrate and prove by clear and convincing evidence that he or she is again
worthy of membership in the Bar. The Court will take into consideration his or her character and
standing prior to the disbarment, the nature and character of the charge/s for which he or she was
disbarred, his or her conduct subsequent to the disbarment, and the time that has elapsed in between
the disbarment and the application for reinstatement.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
ATTY. ANASTACIO E. REVILLA, JR. (REVILLA) was disbarred by the court from the practice of law on the
following grounds: abuse of court procedures and processes; filing of multiple actions and forum-
shopping; willful, intentional and deliberate resort to falsehood and deception before the courts;
maligning the name of his fellow lawyer; and fraudulent and unauthorized appearances in court.
Prior to said disbarment , the court had penalized him already in Plus Builders, Inc. and Edgardo Garcia
versus Atty. Anastacio E. Revilla for his willful and intentional falsehood before the court; for misuse of
court procedures and processes to delay the execution of a judgment; and for collaborating with non-
lawyers in the illegal practice of law. We showed leniency then by reducing his penalty to suspension for
six (6) months.
The court in rendering their decision stated that: He is a continuing risk, too, to the public that the legal
profession serves. Not even his ardor and overzealousness in defending the interests of his client can
save him. Such traits at the expense of everything else, particularly the integrity of the profession and
the orderly administration of justice, this Court cannot accept nor tolerate.
STATEMENT OF CASE:
On July 8, 2010, Revilla filed a Petition for Judicial Clemency and Compassion praying that his license to
practice law be restored based on humanitarian considerations, but the Court En Banc resolved to deny
the petition for lack of merit. Subsequently, Revilla appealed his case and pleaded the court's mercy, but
his prayers were denied by the court. Albeit, Revilla continued to file appeals before the court and
continued to receive negative response from the court.
On July 18, 2014, the respondent filed a Profound Appeal for Judicial Clemency reiterating his apologies
to the Court. He stressed that the penalty of disbarment has already taken its toll on his health; he has
now become most frail and weak; and he had been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at stage five
(5) and undergoing dialysis thrice weekly. He also stressed that in the years that he had been excluded
from the practice of law, he devoted his time to Christian and charity pursuits serving with all humility as
a Lay Minister and a regular lecturer on Legal Aspect of Marriage at St. Peter Church, Quezon City.
The respondent also pleads for clemency, not because he intends to practice law again, but to be made
whole, to recover from being shattered, and to finally have peace of mind. He expressed his sincere
repentance and deep remorse by taking full responsibility for his misdemeanor. He also prayed that his
disbarment be lifted and that he be reinstated as a member of the Philippine bar. As part of his petition,
he submitted a Medical Abstract evidencing his diagnosis for chronic kidney disease, and a certification
from St. Peter Parish, Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, proving that he and his family are dedicated
parishioners.
WON Atty Revilla is qualified for reinstatement in the practice of law.
NO, Atty Revilla is no longer qualified.
Membership in the Bar is a privilege burdened with conditions. It is not a natural, absolute or
constitutional right granted to everyone who demands it, but rather, a special privilege granted and
continued only to those who demonstrate special fitness inintellectual attainment and in moral
character. The same reasoning applies to reinstatement of a disbarred lawyer. When exercising its
inherent power to grant reinstatement, the Court should see to it that only those who establish their
present moral fitness and knowledge of the law will be readmitted to the Bar. Thus, though the doors to
the practice of law are never permanently closed on a disbarred attorney, the Court owes a duty to the
legal profession as well as to the general public to ensure that if the doors are opened,it is done so only
as a matter of justice.
The basic inquiry in a petition for reinstatementto the practice of law is whether the lawyer has
sufficiently rehabilitated himself or herself in conduct and character. Whether the applicant shall be
reinstated in the Roll of Attorneys rests to a great extent on the sound discretion of the Court. The
lawyer has to demonstrate and prove by clear and convincing evidence that he or she is again worthy
of membership in the Bar. The Court will take into consideration his or her character and standing
prior to the disbarment, the nature and character of the charge/s for which he or she was disbarred,
his or her conduct subsequent to the disbarment, and the time that has elapsed in between the
disbarment and the application for reinstatement.
In the present case, we are not fully convinced that the passage of more than four (4) years is sufficient
to enable the respondent to reflect and to realize his professional transgressions.
We emphasize that this is the second time that the respondent was accused and was found guilty of
gross misconduct.1âwphi1 The respondent, in an earlier case of Plus Builders, Inc. v. Atty. Anastacio E.
Revilla,Jr., was likewise found guilty of gross misconduct for committing willful and intentional falsehood
before the court; misusing court procedure and processes to delay the execution of a judgment; and
collaborating with non lawyers in the illegal practice of law – mostly the same grounds on which the
Decision dated December 4, 2009 (2nd disbarment) was based. In Plus Builders, we granted the
respondent's motion for reconsideration and reduced the penalty of suspension from the practice of law
from two (2) years to six (6) months out of compassion to the respondent.
Considering the respondent's earlier disbarment case(and subsequent reduction of the penalty imposed
as an act of clemency), and another disbarment case against him still pending review by the Court, we
are not fully and convincingly satisfied that the respondent has already reformed. The period of five (5)
years is likewise not considerably long considering the nature and perversity of the respondent's
misdeeds. We believe that it is still early for the Court to consider the respondent's reinstatement.
Furthermore, we are not persuaded by the respondent's sincerity in acknowledging his
guilt.1âwphi1 While he expressly stated in his appeal that he had taken full responsibility of his
misdemeanor, his previous inclination to pass the blame to other individuals, to invoke self-denial, and
to make alibis for his wrongdoings, contradicted his assertion. The respondent also failed to submit
proof satisfactorily showing his contrition. He failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that
he is again worthy of membership in the legal profession. We thus entertain serious doubts that the
respondent had completely reformed.
As a final word, while the Court sympathizes with the respondent's unfortunate physical condition, we
stress that in considering his application for reinstatement to the practice of law, the duty of the Court is
to determine whether he has established moral reformation and rehabilitation, disregarding its feeling
of sympathy or pity. Surely at this point, this requirement was not met. Until such time when the
respondent can demonstrate to the Court that he has completely rehabilitated himself and deserves to
resume his membership in the Bar, Our decision to disbar him from the practice of law stands.
DISPOSITIVE PORTION:
WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Profound Appeal for Judicial Clemency filed by Atty. Anastacio E.
Revilla, Jr. is hereby DENIED.
Carmelita I. Zaguirre vs. Atty. Alfredo Castillo
Atty. Alfredo Castillo was already married with three children when he had an affair with Carmelita
Zaguirre. This occurred sometime from 1996 to 1997, while Castillo was reviewing for the bar and
before the release of its results. Zaguirre then got pregnant allegedly with Castillo's daughter. The
latter, who was already a lawyer, notarized an affidavit recognizing the child and promising for her
support which did not materialize after the birth of the child. The Court found him guilty of Gross
Immoral Conduct to which Castillo filed a motion for reconsideration.
The IBP commented that until Castillo admits the paternity of the child and agrees to support her. In his
defense, the latter presented different certificates appreciating his services as a lawyer and proving his
good moral character. His wife even submitted a handwritten letter stating his amicability as a husband
and father despite the affair. More than a year since the original decision rendered by the Court,
Castillo reiterated his willingness to support the child to the Court and attached a photocopy of post-
dated checks addressed to Zaguirre for the months of March to December 2005 in the amount of
Php2,000.00 each.
Whether or not Atty. Alfredo Castillo is guilty of Gross Immoral Conduct and should be punished with
the penalty of Indefinite Suspension.
The Court found that Castillo's show of repentance and active service to the community is a just and
reasonable ground to convert the original penalty of indefinite suspension to a definite suspension of
two years. Furthermore, the Court noted that Zaguirre's further claim for the support of her child
should be addressed to the proper court in a proper case.
Eco v Rodriguez
In 1956, Felipe Eco was granted a private woodland registration certification by the Bureau of Forestry
but the same was later cancelled by the Secretary of Agriculture and Natural Resources (Juan De
Rodriguez) due to numerous oppositions and also by reason of Eco's refusal to submit to a formal
investigation. Eco questioned the decision before the court but the trial court affirmed the Secretary's
decision. In 1958, Eco filed a notice of appeal and also posted the required appeal bond. This was
opposed because Eco filed it out of time. Eco argued that the delay is due to excusable negligence. The
alleged negligence consisted of the erroneous computation by Eco's counsel's clerk of the period within
which an appeal may be made, said clerk being of the impression that the prescriptive period to appeal
in certiorari cases is also 30 days like in ordinary civil actions instead of 15 days.
ISSUE: Whether or not the delay is excusable.
HELD: No. What was delegated by Eco's counsel to his clerk was the computation itself of the period
within which the appropriate pleading may be filed. This act is hardly prudent or wise. The duty to
compute the period to appeal is a duty that devolves upon the attorney which he cannot and should not
delegate unto an employee because it concerns a question of study of the law and its application, and
the Supreme Court considers this to be a delicate matter that should not be delegated. The negligence
here cannot, therefore, be considered excusable.
ROBINSON vs VILLAFUERTE (G.R. No. L-5346 January 3, 1911)
April 30, 1908, W. W. Robinson entered suit in CFI Tayabas against Marcelino Villafuerte y Rañola,
alleging: That the plaintiff was engaged, in Manila and at the time specified further on, in the
importation and sale of flour and other products from abroad, with an office in Manila, a business which
he still continued, through the agency of Castle Brothers, Wolf & Sons, established therein; that the
defendant, a resident of Lucena, Tayabas, by an instrument duly executed (October 19, 1906), by his
attorney in fact and legal representative, Vicente Marcelo Concepcion, who was fully empowered and
authorized for the purpose, and ratified on the same date before the notary public of Manila, D.R.
Williams, acknowledged and confessed that he owed the plaintiff the net sum of P3,852.50; that by the
said instrument duly executed the defendant bound and pledged himself to pay to the plaintiff the said
sum in four monthly installments from that date, at the rate of P1,000 for each of the first three
installments and P852.50 for the last one, and likewise the interest thereon at the rate of 8% per
annum, to be adjusted and paid at the time of paying each of the installments fixed; that in the said
instrument the defendant moreover bound himself to pay to the plaintiff the sum of P500 for costs and
expenses, in case the latter should recur to judicial process for the collection of the aforementioned
debt; and that, as security for the payment of the said debt, of the interest thereon and of the amount
for costs and expenses, the defendant voluntarily executed, by means of the said instrument and in
favor of the plaintiff, a special mortgage upon the properties of his absolute ownership and control (11
Rural estates in Lucena). It was stated in the instrument, as an express condition, that default of
payment of any of the installments specified in the fourth preceding paragraph would cause the entire
obligation to mature and would entitle the plaintiff (it says "defendant") to require the payment of the
same in its totality and forthwith to institute foreclosure proceedings against any and all of the
mortgage properties. The complaint further alleged, that, notwithstanding the repeated demands made
upon the defendant, the latter had not paid his debt nor the interest thereon, excepting the sum of
P550. As a second cause of action, the complaint alleged, among other things: That the defendant, by
means of an instrument duly executed on December 21, 1906, by his attorney in fact and legal
representative, Vicente Marcelo Concepcion, who was fully empowered and authorized — an
instrument ratified on the same date before the notary Daniel R. Williams — and in consideration of the
credit which the plaintiff agreed to allow the said defendant up to the sum of P3,560, executed a special
voluntary mortgage of the properties of his absolute ownership and control. The mortgage was
executed as security for the payment to the plaintiff of the sum or sums which the defendant might owe
him by reason of the said credit, which was granted. The defendant, in his answer, alleged: That the
defendant did not execute, consent to, nor authorize the execution of a power of attorney of any kind
whatsoever in favor of Vicente Marcelo Concepcion; that the defendant received no sum whatever from
the plaintiff nor was he in the latter's debt for the amount claimed in the complaint, nor for any other
sum of money; that he did not give his consent to all of to any one of the mortgages alleged in the
complaint, and that all the said mortgages on the properties were founded on a supposed power of
attorney said to have been executed by the defendant in favor of Vicente Marcelo Concepcion, which
power of attorney was fictitious, false, fraudulent, null and void, that it was not executed by the
defendant, nor did the latter intervene therein and that the said power of attorney had no true reason
for existence; wherefore the defendant asked that judgment be rendered absolving him from the
complaint with the costs against the plaintiff, by annulling each and all of the mortgages alleged in the
complaint and the inscription of each of them in the office of the register of property of Tayabas, and by
ordering the cancellation of all the inscriptions of the said mortgages and encumbrances of the
aforementioned properties. The purpose of the suit filed by the plaintiff, W. W. Robinson, is the
collection of various sums owed by the defendant, Marcelino Villafuerte y Rañola, the payment of which
is secured by a mortgage on the real properties set out in the two notarial documents evidencing the
debt, exhibited under letter A and B, and inscribed in the property registry of the Province of Tayabas.
Whether a Law Clerk, Jose Moreno Lacalle, should be permitted to examine witnesses during the
hearing of the case
With regard to the first two alleged errors, relative to Jose Moreno Lacalle being permitted to address
questions to some of the witnesses during the hearing of the case, notwithstanding the presence of
Attorney Agustin Alvarez, who represented the plaintiff, it is unquestionable that the intervention of the
said law clerk and employee of Messrs. Haussermann, Cohn & Williams, the plaintiff's attorneys in this
suit, was improperly admitted; it was not authorized by any law, for the reason that the said Lacalle did
not have the capacity and qualifications of a lawyer admitted under oath to practice his profession
before the courts of these Islands, and therefore, on objection being made to his present at the hearing
of the case, the judge should have sustained such objection and should have excluded Lacalle and not
permitted him to address questions to the plaintiff's witnesses, notwithstanding the fact that Attorney
Agustin Alvares, designated in substitution of the said Haussermann, Cohn & Williams as the plaintiff's
representative in CFI Tayabas, was present. Notwithstanding this, the acts performed in the course of
some of the proceedings under the direction of Jose Moreno Lacalle are not subject to annulment, as no
positive detriment was caused to the defendant, although such intervention is in no manner permitted
by the law of procedure. However, even though the questions addressed by Lacalle to the plaintiff's
witnesses and the presentation of documents of various kinds exhibited at the trial be stricken out for
the reason that they were made by a person who was neither a party to the suit nor counsel for the
plaintiff, yet we do not find any reason, based upon any positive prohibition of the law, to authorize the
striking out to the answers given by the witnesses interrogated by Lacalle, even though the said answers
may have been evoked by questions addressed by a person not authorized by law, and there is much
less reason for rejecting the cross-questions addressed to the same witnesses by the defendant's
attorney, and the answers thereto. Although the presentation of the documents which support the
claims of the plaintiff party be deemed to be improper, on account of their having been made by a
person who had not the qualifications of a practicing attorney it is nevertheless true that their
presentation was authorized by the attorney Alvarez and the documents exhibited continued to be
united to the record and were not stricken out therefrom on motion by the other side, but, on the
contrary, the attorney for the defendant or his counsel discussed the authenticity and validity of the said
documents, made allegations against the same and concluded by asking that these documents, and also
the inscription of those designated under letters A and B, be declared null and void. From the preceding
statements it is concluded that the intervention of Jose Moreno Lacalle in the present suit has in no
manner prejudiced the rights and interests of the defendant and that, if judgment was rendered against
him and in favor of the plaintiff, it was in consequence of the merits of the evidence adduced by the
plaintiff and of the inefficacy and worthlessness of the testimony given by the defendant. If the
defendant Marcelino Villafuerte had presented substantial, strong and convincing evidence of the falsity
of the two powers of attorney executed in favor of Vicente Marcelo Concepcion, the plaintiff's
documentary evidence would have been totally invalidated and annulled, and this suit would have had a
different ending.

Ernst Nagelschmitz (* 1. Mai 1902 in Budapest, Österreich-Ungarn; † 21. Mai 1987 in München) war ein deutscher Fußballspieler, der mit dem FC Bayern München 1932 Deutscher Meister wurde und 1926 ein Länderspiel für die A-Nationalmannschaft bestritt.

Karriere

Verein
Der in Budapest geborene Ernst Nagelschmitz kam im Alter von neun Jahren mit seinen Eltern nach München. 1915 schloss er sich 13-jährig dem FC Bayern München an und rückte am 27. Juli 1920 gemeinsam mit Josef Pöttinger und Franz Dietl aus der Jugendabteilung in die erste Mannschaft der "Rothosen" auf. Der brillante Techniker war zumeist auf der Außenläuferposition mit dem Spielaufbau betraut. Im Finale um den Süddeutschen Pokal unterlag er mit den Bayern am 17. Juni 1923 auf dem MTV-Platz an der Marbachstraße jedoch der SpVgg Fürth mit 3:4.

Sein erster fußballerischer Höhepunkt wurde die Saison 1925/26. Zunächst belegte er mit dem FC Bayern München in der Bezirksliga Bayern den ersten Rang und kam auch gegen den SV 1860 München beim 2:0-Sieg am 26. September und beim 3:3-Unentschieden am 20. Dezember 1925 in den Stadtderbys zum Einsatz.

In der Endrunde um die süddeutsche Meisterschaft, die die Bayern mit 18:2 Punkten für sich entschieden, lagen sie drei Punkte vor der SpVgg Fürth. Überraschend verlor er mit Mitspielern wie Kutterer, Pöttinger und Hofmann am 16. Mai 1926 das Achtelfinale der Endrunde um die deutsche Meisterschaft bei Fortuna Leipzig mit 0:2 Toren. Zwei Jahre später, 1927/28, gewann er mit den Bayern wiederum die Meisterschaft in der Bezirksliga, Gruppe Südbayern und die der Süddeutschen und zog erneut in die Endrunde um die deutsche Meisterschaft ein. In dieser setzte er sich mit der Mannschaft gegen Wacker Halle mit 3:0 und die SpVgg Sülz 07 (Vorläufer des 1. FC Köln) mit 5:2 durch; unterlag allerdings im Halbfinale gegen den Hamburger SV mit 2:8, nachdem es zur Halbzeit noch 1:1 gestanden hatte. Er bildete dabei mit Josef Hofmeister und Ludwig Goldbrunner die Läuferreihe, die aber die Torjägerqualitäten von Otto Harder, Franz Horn und Hans Rave nicht unterbinden konnte. In der Saison 1931/32 gewann er mit der Mannschaft erneut die Meisterschaft in der Bezirksliga Bayern, Gruppe Südbayern, anschließend die Endrunde um die süddeutsche Meisterschaft mit einem Punkt vor dem 1. FC Nürnberg in der Gruppe Süd/Ost. Nach der Endspielniederlage um die süddeutsche Meisterschaft gegen Eintracht Frankfurt, dem Sieger der Gruppe Nord/West, nahm er mit den Bayern an der Endrunde um die deutsche Meisterschaft 1931/32 teil. In dieser kam er in drei von vier Spielen (außer dem Viertelfinale) zum Einsatz und gehörte am 12. Juni 1932 in Nürnberg der im Endspiel mit 2:0 gegen Eintracht Frankfurt erfolgreichen Mannschaft an.

Den Gewinn der ersten deutschen Fußballmeisterschaft 1932 erkämpfte er unter Trainer Richard Dombi als linker Außenläufer mit den Abwehrrecken Haringer, Heidkamp und Goldbrunner und im Sturm agierten Bergmaier, Krumm und Rohr. Dabei musste Nagelschmitz noch vor dem Halbzeitpfiff verletzt ausscheiden. Das Finale in Nürnberg war für den hochgewachsenen Außenläufer und brillanten Techniker bereits sein 378. Einsatz für den FC Bayern München. Erst fünf Jahre später beendete er seine Laufbahn. Mit der Halbfinalteilnahme 1928 und dem Gewinn der deutschen Meisterschaft 1932 war es dem FC Bayern München gelungen, sich in der Gruppe der leistungsstärksten und prominentesten deutschen Vereine zu etablieren.

Nationalmannschaft
Nagelschmitz debütierte am 18. April 1926 in Düsseldorf in der A-Nationalmannschaft, als diese mit 4:2 gegen die Auswahl der Niederlande gewann; dreifacher Torschütze war sein Vereinsmitspieler Josef Pöttinger. Drei Wochen zuvor, am 28. März, hatte er bei der Kampfspielpokal-Begegnung von Süddeutschland gegen Mitteldeutschland (3:1) in München als linker Außenläufer an der Seite von Hans Hagen und Ludwig Leinberger überzeugen können.

Während des Olympischen Fußballturniers 1928 in Amsterdam gehörte er zum Mannschaftsaufgebot wie auch seine Vereinsmitspieler Kutterer, Hofmann und Pöttinger. Ein Einsatz in beiden Turnierspielen, in dem die deutsche Mannschaft am 3. Juni mit 1:4 gegen die Auswahl und späteren Turniersieger Uruguay im Viertelfinale ausschied, blieb ihm verwehrt. Reichstrainer Otto Nerz setzte in der Läuferreihe auf Georg Knöpfle, Hans Kalb und Ludwig Leinberger.

Sonstiges
Der Finanzbeamte war bis kurz vor seinem Tode im Jahr 1987 ein begeisterter Eisstockschütze und ständiger Gast bei den Heimspielen des FC Bayern, bei dem er auch Ehrenmitglied war.

Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers: Brutally Honest Preview
September 13, 2012 By paulmbanks Leave a Comment
If the 185th installment of the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears works out like it usually does, it should be a great game for NFL Network to kick off their 2012 Thursday Night Football extravaganza.
The Bears (1-0) own the all-time edge by six games in the NFL's oldest and most historic rivalry, but it's the Packers (0-1) who have won six of the last seven.
Chicago Bears (1-0) Analysis: Jay Cutler and the boys carved up the Indianapolis Colts for 428 yards of total offense (sixth most in the league) and a decisive 41-21 win in week one. Bears fans have to be just salivating at the prospectus of Cutler and Brandon Marshall (reunited and it feels so good) taking on a Packers' defensive secondary who was torched in week one by the not-yet-recognized Alex Smith and his elder-receiver, Randy Moss. The scary pass offense aside, the Bears have a couple of talented backs in Matt Forte and Michael Bush who are readily able to provide a change of pace to the passing game. This is a much better Chicago offense than 2011's injury-riddled squad who were at best average (ranked 17th at 22.1 points per game).
While the Bears' offense is indeed improved, it will be the defense who will be the key behind stealing a win at Lambeau Field. These aren't your father's "Monsters of the Midway," but they are an experienced crew who know the Packers team in and out. Defensive end Julius Peppers is a beast on the end and linebackers Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher are two of the best in the game. What the Bears defense hasn't done over the past few years is stop Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. In their last meeting, Rodgers threw a career-high five touchdowns in a 35-21 win on Christmas night.
Green Bay Packers (0-1) Analysis: Being anointed as the league's best team before a single snap probably didn't help the Packers who dropped their season-opener to the 49ers on Sunday. With the Bears coming to town, the uphill climb to the top doesn't get any easier for a team who had it's 13-game home winning streak snapped. On offense, Rodgers needs to get back to doing what he does best and that's dropping the ball on a dime when he chucks it down the field. Against both the Giants (playoff loss) and the 49ers, Rodgers has been uncharacteristically off with his throws downfield. To say defenses have figured him out just seems foolish due to how crazy good he was last year.
In week one, the Packers defense actually looked better than the atrocity from last season. Take away the multiple blown coverages (not an easy minus, but nonetheless) and Green Bay actually held the 49ers to 2-of-9 on third down, allowing for the then-impotent offense to take the field. The run defense was particularly bad, but not many could stop the 49ers in that department last season. Who knew linebacker A.J. Hawk would play with more intensity without his hair? His 14 tackles (10 solo) led the team and provides hope the Packers can get some kind of return on their first-round pick from 2006.
Prediction: Green Bay Packers 28 Chicago Bears 24
Six of the last eight games between the Packers and Bears have been decided by seven or less points, thus the prediction of Packers by four. The reason I like the Packers in this game is because with today's media and overreaction, this is pretty much a must-win game. I also like Rodgers to bounce back with a performance more reflective of his MVP-winning self. The Bears will have offensive success, but it will be turnovers that make the difference in a very close and entertaining game.

I graduated from Samford (Sam, not Stan!) University in Birmingham, Alabama, with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies. Said degree came in quite handy since welcoming six children into my life over the span of a decade. With Littles, Middles, and Bigs around, there's no shortage of activity—or noise!—in my little white house.
I implemented the Brave Writer Lifestyle in our home education several years ago. The results were staggering. And so was the Love Affair. By simply practicing the Brave Writer Values on my own children, the Love grew into a full-blown Language Arts Liberation. I eagerly shared this shiny, new-found treasure with co-op classes I created across the elementary, middle, and high school spectrum.
I also formed and led a homeschool support group for many years. My little band of pioneers blossomed from 7 interested attendants to nearly 200 members! I coordinated monthly meetings that tackled a laundry list of topics near-and-dear to the parent's heart, while gently nudging growth in self confidence and community. Our time each month swung wide the door of relationship, allowing me to come alongside folks committed to a positive impact upon the hearts and minds in their everyday lives.
Understanding the Homeschool Parent and the trench from which the Language Arts battle is waged is my mission—because math isn't! Drawing on over a decade of homeschool experience and an insatiable appetite for "just the right word," I'm eager to partner with you for this leg of your journey!


Chinese petitioner Liu Zhen from Shenyang, northeastern China's Liaoning province, in an undated photo.
Family members of a petitioner who died in the custody of "interceptors" after traveling to the Chinese capital to pursue a complaint against the government have questioned official claims that he had a heart attack.
Liu Zhen died last week after being held for more than two months a police-run detention center in Liaoning's provincial capital Shenyang in northeastern China, his home city.
He had been detained after setting out to lodge a petition at the U.S. embassy in Beijing last October, around with a dozen other people.
He was detained and taken back to Shenyang by "interceptors," before being held under criminal detention in the city's Hunnan district before his formal arrest in December.
His family was informed on Jan. 13 of his death from a "heart attack," but relatives who identified his body said there were visible marks of injury to his chest area that led them to distrust the officially registered cause of death.
"Liaoning rights activist Zhu Zhongxiao told RFA that Liu's grown son is now incommunicado after being called in by police for "a chat."
"His son had been planning to meet with some rights defenders in Shenyang [on Tuesday]," Zhu said. "But he was taken away by police, and we don't know if he even went willingly; it's likely that he now has restrictions on his freedom."
He said Liu's son had been detained after he posted on the Sina Weibo social media platform about his father's death.
"His son posted to Weibo that there were greenish-purple marks on his father's chest, which the authorities said were caused by their attempts to resuscitate him," Zhu said. "If that's so, then why wouldn't they allow the family to take photos?"
He said the family had submitted a request for an autopsy to the local prosecutor's office on Monday, but that they have no idea where Liu's body is being held.
"Where has the body gone?" Zhu said. "That is one question mark."
Li Ning, whose mother Li Shulian's death in custody in 2009 led to the charging of six officials with "illegal detention" last month, said the remains of a loved one are the only evidence remaining for families who suspect foul play after a death in custody.
"The family has the right to apply for an autopsy, and if they are suspicious about the official autopsy, they can apply for an autopsy carried out by a third party," Li said. "They can't stop you taking photos of the body, and the family also has the right hold the detention center to account and to hire a lawyer to represent them."
"They can also demand access to relevant video and audio recordings," she said.
But she said any attempt to see justice done isn't for the faint-hearted.
"This is a long and slow process, and a very, very tough one," Li said. "There are some similarities between [Liu's death] and my mother's case, and it took me 10 years to get to this point because the family didn't have possession of the body."
"It is very, very hard to take this through official channels," she said.
Last month, authorities in the central province of Henan executed a petitioner for killing a police officer who was forcibly escorting him home from a petitioning trip in the Chinese capital.
Veteran activist Xu Youchen, 58, was executed on Nov. 15 after the China Supreme People's Court approved his death sentence the month before, according to London-based rights group Amnesty International, which had campaigned for a reprieve.
But rights groups have also cited procedural irregularities with the handling of the policeman's death.
Authorities cremated the body of the policeman allegedly killed by the couple just four days after he died, making it impossible to re-examine the exact time and cause of death, Amnesty International reported.
China's army of petitioners, who flood the ruling Chinese Communist Party's official complaints departments with more than 20,000 complaints daily across the country, frequently report being held in "black jails," beaten, or otherwise harassed, if they persist in a complaint beyond its initial rejection at the local level.
They are often escorted home forcibly by "interceptors" sent by their local governments to prevent negative reports from reaching the ears of higher authorities.

Flying Witch 1 – a new slice of life meets witchcraft manga
There's no shortage of great manga based around witchcraft. Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches and Witchcraft Works immediately come to mind. But sometimes, it's nice to have something a bit breezier and played purely for laughs. And Flying Witch fulfils both requirements.
Makoto Kowata, a novice witch, has packed up her belongings (including her black cat familiar) and moved in with her distant cousins in rural Aomori Prefecture, in the far north reaches of Japan, to complete her training and become a full-fledged witch.
Obviously this is the first volume, so there's always the chance the series will develop a serious subplot or add some drama into the mix. But just going by the tone established in this opening chapter, I somehow feel that will not be the case with this series. It helps that the lead character Makoto immediately goes against standard witch protocol when it comes to secrecy by obliviously flying a broomstick in broad daylight whilst out shopping with her cousin Chinatsu. Her lack of discretion does not get any better as the story volume progresses as she freely blabs about her witchcraft forgetting she is supposed to keep the information secret to anyone outside her family. Of course it's not the first time a story involving witches has been told where they're not tight-lipped with their secrets, but there's something refreshing about how normal and everyday witchcraft is to Makoto.
This light-hearted take works to the series' advantage as the series manages to work the many witchcraft tropes into the comedy. Whether it be a botched summoning spell which makes Makoto's residence look like The Birds, Makoto's feline familiar Chito's idea of interesting tourist spots in their new neighbourhood or Makoto attempting to gift her new classmate and friend Nao with a mandrake root (which is the closest something comes to being scary in the book), there's plenty of great natural comedy moments brought on by blending witchcraft with slice of life.
Chihiro Ishizuka has a simple delicate style that works for the type of storytelling she's doing. All the characters are very expressive and a lot of the humour is derived from physical action (Makoto trying to uproot a mandrake plant and her fruitless attempts at catching a pheasant are particular highpoints). For the most part in modern manga, cats are usually drawn in a realistic style. In this case though, Makoto's familiar Chito is given features that as far as expressions go match more with the human characters. Being a type of demon, this is to be expected. But it is still a nice touch as his interactions with the other characters come off as more human than feline.
As far as manga involving witchcraft goes, this is definitely a fun one. Plus, anyone looking for a fun manga they don't have to take super seriously will find a lot to enjoy.

Hoping Russia Will Send More Gas
July 13, 2022 /0 Comments/in Midstream Energy Infrastructure/by Simon Lack

On Monday Nord Stream 1 was shut down for annual maintenance, cutting off the remaining Russian natural gas exports to Germany. Europe's biggest economy continues to provide lessons to the rest of us on what a flawed energy strategy looks like. German industry anxiously waits to see whether some contrived additional repairs will extend the pipeline's maintenance beyond its scheduled ten days. Germany is dependent for energy on a country whose soldiers are being fired at by Ukrainians using German weapons. It's not a good place from which to negotiate.
Austrian energy company OMV said it's receiving less than a third of the natural gas from Russia that it's ordered.
German day ahead power is trading at €370 per Megawatt Hour. French month ahead power is over €430. Europe's problems are being compounded by a heatwave which is forcing reduced nuclear output in France. When the river water used to cool nuclear plants rises above a certain temperature, returning water back to the river risks damaging the environment.
Right on cue, west European wind power is falling too. Hot weather tends to occur with little breeze. That's why it's hot. Texas is experiencing a similar drop in wind output during their current heatwave, with output running at only 8% of capacity. It is possible to want reduced CO2 emissions while valuing reliable energy over opportunistic solar and wind. Policymakers are increasingly embracing natural gas as the solution.
Global trade in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) rose 4.5% last year, a trend that's likely to continue for some years now that Europe has pivoted away from Russian supplies. A recent profile of Tellurian CEO Charif Souki in the New York Times offered an unexpectedly balanced view of the benefits of natural gas. The article presented what is fast becoming orthodox thinking as policymakers confront the energy crisis:
The world may be facing energy and climate crises, he said, "but one is going to happen this month, and the other one is going to happen in 40 years." He added: "If you tell somebody, 'You are going to run out of electricity this month,' and then you talk to the same person about what's going to happen in 40 years, they will tell you, 'What do I care about 40 years from now?'"
EU lawmakers recently approved natural gas and nuclear as "green" investments, which will make it easier for companies to obtain financing. It's another recognition that running the world on solar panels and windmills won't work. Nonetheless substantial incongruity remains between what rich countries want for themselves versus their policy prescriptions for non-OECD countries. For example, Nigeria exports LNG to Europe who in turn wants to see Africa by-pass fossil fuels and use more renewables. It's leading to accusations of "green colonialism". Egypt is hosting COP27, the UN's annual climate change conference, and increasing poorer nations' access to natural gas is expected to be high on the agenda, as it should be.
Further boosting domestic demand for natural gas is growing interest in Electric Vehicles (EVs), US sales of which recently crossed 5% of total auto sales. Tesla owners love their cars, but most own a conventional car too. Inadequate charging infrastructure for EVs remains a deterrent, as does the time it takes to top up a battery. As EVs gain market share they will increase demand for electricity, the two biggest sources of which are natural gas (38%) and coal (regrettably 22%).
Recession fears continue to weigh on energy prices which is depressing the sector. The American Energy Independence Index has pulled back 19% from its recent high in early June but is still +12% YTD. The fundamentals have hardly changed. Natural gas demand remains strong over the near term and its long-term prospects seem to improve every month. Even if crude oil demand grows more slowly, it will have a minimal impact on North American pipelines.
Williams Companies has experienced an 18% pullback and yet their prospects have barely dimmed if at all. The stock yields over 5%, has a Free Cash Flow (FCF) yield of 7% and we calculate an adjusted funds from operations yield of 10%. A similarly bullish case could be made for Energy Transfer, which yields 8% and has a Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) yield of over 20%. Both companies spend no more than 10% of DCF on maintenance capex. Cheniere has a FCF yield of 17%.
Many prospective investors looked at this sector during the spring and hesitated because of the strong YTD performance. They asked whether they had already missed the move. Those same investors can invest at the prices that prevailed in February, before Russia invaded Ukraine. Back when European leaders sat atop Maslow's pyramid with all their problems solved other than curbing CO2 emissions. A time when energy dependence on Russia passed for thoughtful engagement. A time when energy security was anachronistic. Better to watch the education from here than to live through it there.

Staff Reporter WINDHOEK – Minister of Finance Calle Schlettwein has warned of a fake LinkedIn account in circulation, purporting, soliciting and offering assistance to business people. Scammers have in recent years opened fake social media accounts in the name of high-ranking government officials, which they then use to illegally solicit funds from unsuspecting members of the public. "This LinkedIn account is fake!!! Honourable Schlettwein does not and never had any LinkedIn account. You are strongly advised to ignore this misleading account and not to provide any details whatsoever," said Schlettwein's Executive Assistant, Esau Mbako. A similar case was recently reported by the Ministry of Poverty Eradication and Social Welfare, which warned that scammers were using a fake Gmail account in the name of Minister Zapheia Kameeta. Also, two years ago the Office of the Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila cautioned about fake Facebook accounts opened in her name. "I would like to alert the public of a scam whereby some unknown individual/individuals have set up fake Facebook pages in the name of Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila," the prime minister's spokeswoman, Saima Shaanika, said at the time. She confirmed that there were at least four Facebook accounts in the name of the prime minister of which three were fake. Shaanika urged members of the public to remain alert and when in doubt of certain representations which involve the name of the prime minister to verify such information by contacting the office.

Therapist Self-Disclosure: For Better and For Worse?


Amid global economic meltdown, the Consumer Electronics Association sees reasons for cautious optimism.
CEA economist Shawn DuBravac, in a webcast earlier this week, predicted spending on consumer technologies would "outperform" the broader retail sector in the 2008 holiday season.
Things are, to be sure, bad. The CEA is forecasting a $400 billion drop in U.S. consumer spending for the year, a 4% decline out of $10 trillion in total spending. DuBravac said employment figures are "coming down in a recession-like manner."
But as retail sales continue to trend down — with weak spending into the early part of 2009 — consumer electronics are garnering a larger share of discretionary purchases, according to DuBravac.
"Consumers, when they're looking at their total spend, are reallocating some of that money that they might have spent on autos or on appliances, other things like that, and moving it towards technology," he said.
"Technology has held up OK despite the economy," he added, singling out solid sales this year for flat-panel displays.
For the holiday season, CEA is forecasting above-average performance for two categories: audio-visual equipment (including TVs) and videogame consoles.
According to the association's current forecasts, A/V hardware shipments are expected to be up 4.7% for the holiday season compared with last year. U.S. gaming hardware units will be up 3.5% this holiday season, to 17.1 million units.
"I certainly don't want to appear myopic at all, but these seem to be reasonable projections," DuBravac said.
Another encouraging sign: He noted that there hasn't been "a rush to consumer credit as we have seen in previous downturns."
Things may look good now. But we have yet to see what the actual pullback in consumer spending will be from the economic turmoil, and how hard it will hit the consumer-electronics industry (or, for that matter, multichannel video providers). Is Joe Six-Pack going to drop a grand for an HDTV — or pay his winter heating bills?

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Becoming an Artist
by Wesley Miller | Apr 29, 2011
SUBSCRIBE TO EXCLUSIVE: RSS | ITUNES | YOUTUBE | ARTBABBLE
Episode #141: Filmed in his New York studio, artist Hiroshi Sugimoto recounts his student days studying Western philosophy (Hegel, Kant, Marx) in Tokyo, encountering Oriental philosophy (such as Zen Buddhism) in California, and his interest in the history of Modernism—all schools of thought that demonstrate "the human ability to see things in a different way."
Central to Hiroshi Sugimoto's work is the idea that photography is a time machine, a method of preserving and picturing memory and time. Sugimoto sees with the eye of the sculptor, painter, architect, and philosopher. He creates images that seem to convey his subjects' essence, whether architectural, sculptural, painterly, or of the natural world.
Hiroshi Sugimoto is featured in the Season 3 (2007) episode Memory of the Art in the Twenty-First Century television series on PBS. Watch full episodes online for free via PBS Video or Hulu, as a paid download via iTunes (link opens application), or as part of a Netflix streaming subscription.

Jonathan Edwards praises Birmingham for attracting top athletes to train ahead of 2012 Olympics
BIRMINGHAM has already come out top in the 2012 Olympics by attracting the world's best athletes to train in the city, according to Gold Medallist Jonathan Edwards.
Jonathan WalkerPolitical Editor
The triple jump champion, who won the gold in the 2000 Sydney Games, said the city had beaten rivals by sealing deals with the Jamaican and US track and field teams.
Mr Edwards, who forged a successful career as a television broadcaster following his athletics career, is deputy chair of the London 2012 nations and regions group – the body charged with ensuring every part of the UK benefits from the London games, not just the capital.
Birmingham scored a major coup this year when it was confirmed the Jamaican track and field team would base their training camp in the city. It means that triple Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt and his team-mates, including fellow sprint champion Asafa Powell, will be warming up for the 2012 Games at Alexander Stadium.
Mr Edwards said visiting teams would use 30 different venues across the country, and added: "I think you have already done the best.
"You have got the Jamaicans, which will be phenomenal, as well as the Americans' track and field team.
"But it's not just about having the best athletes in the world coming to the region. It's about how you can use that to encourage young people in the region to become involved in sport."
The Olympic Delivery Authority is highlighting the benefits the games will bring to every part of the country with fewer than 1,000 days to go until the contests begin. So far, 42 West Midlands businesses have won contracts related to the games, benefitting many thousands of workers in the supply chain.
They include Slick Seating Systems, of Redditch, who will provide seating for the basketball arena in the Olympic Park.
Coventry-born long and middle distance runner Dave Moorcroft, who competed in three Olympics and also won gold in the 1978 Commonwealth games, has been appointed the West Midlands ambassador to the 2012 event.
