N. Ecija clerk of court dismissed for dishonesty, misconduct

Supreme Court (FIle photo) MANILA - A Nueva Ecija court official was ordered dismissed from the service by the Supreme Court (SC) for gross neglect of duty, gross misconduct, and dishonesty. The court en banc also ordered the forfeiture of all benefits except accrued leave credits and disqualification from reinstatement or appointment to any public office of lawyer Renato Frades, clerk of court of the Regional Trial Court of Gapan City. Frades was the subject an administrative complaint by Reynaldo Ngo for falsely certifying the authenticity of a document submitted as evidence by spouses Dominador and Guillerma Anatalio. The Anatalios lost a property dispute to Ngo and his brother, Eduardo, in 2009. After Ngo won the case, he sought Frades' help to determine the existence of an unregistered "deed of sale" submitted when the land case was pending. Frades had stamp-marked the photocopy of the document as certified true copy. Ngo also accused Frades of harassing him to produce PHP30,000 to cover the demolition expenses of the Anatalios in the execution of the court decision, prompting him to file separate misappropriation charges after he learned that only PHP20,000 was released. "The comprehensive report of the investigating judge, found by the Office of the Court Administrator to be supported by evidence, is well taken. Respondent's (Frades) actions made under the pretext of lawful performance of duty as clerk of court, undermined the effective and efficient administration of justice," read the SC's 13-page resolution in November 2021 and published online on March 4, 2022.
