Simply put, Ms. Geverola falsified her application for sick leave, induced Dr. Amoroso of the Office of the City Health Officer of Davao City to issue a Medical Certificate to support her application for sick leave and, likewise, induced then Executive Judge Virginia Hofilena-Europa to approve the same. Ms. Geverola and Judge Europa must be required to submit their respective comments on this very serious matter. An anonymous complaint is always received with great caution, originating as it does from an unknown author. The explanation is far too pat, unsatisfactory, and uncompelling. Moreover, respondent's actuations do not only constitute falsification but likewise dishonesty and duplicity which deserve appropriate sanction from the Court.
Public service requires utmost integrity and discipline.
Respondent has failed to measure up to the standards exacted by her position. She has not been true to these lofty ideals so essential for the proper and effective administration of justice. She is further warned that a repetition of the same or similar offense shall be dealt with more severely. Narvasa, C.J ., Romero, Francisco and Panganiban, JJ ., concur.
